Chick Corea Elektric Band - Estival Jazz Lugano, CH 2003-07-11 (FLAC)

Ok... Hi again folks.This is one of the great Swissbird soundboard recordings from the Estival Jazz event that takes place every year in Switzerland. This is one that was originally seeded in January 2006 at Dime but was recently reseeded on May 30 of this year. Perhaps many of you are already familiar with these sensational Swissbird / Simplex recordings. You should all seek out any and all of these releases where you can find them because each and every one of them are excellent and worthy to add to your collection and this, for sure, is really an awesome one to grab if you don't have it. In fact, this is one of the earlier Swissbird productions and one that you should definitely not let it pass by you this time around. I have touched up the info text below for the original listing but it still contains all the information that was given in full. I also did that for the fileset and artwork as well. I really don't think that much of an introduction is needed here for these musicians, but if don't know them all by name you should study up on them online with some searches on your own. Even though the line up is not exactly the same as the original CCEB (I personally think John Patitucci was unique), the technical abilities of this band are unquestionable, close to perfection. And Dave Weckl is a monster of a drummerr! Add really pristine sound quality and I think you get the full picture... a fantastic performance by all musicians captured for us on this night. Enjoy...
