Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Chick Corea's Elektrik Band II
Song:Ritual
Album:Paint The World




Pianist Chick Corea is one of the primary sources of what is called Fusion music. It's a mix of jazz & rock popularized by Miles Davis on Bitches Brew etc. Corea was in that band and then became popular as a leader with Return To Forever. Along with Joe Zawinul, Corea is probably the best pianist to adapt to electronic keyboards & synthesizers. Ritual is from the 1993 Paint The World CD and it's the second version of his Elektrik Band featuring sax player Eric Marienthal. It's very straight ahead music and well worth a listen.
