The album's style can be described as modern jazz, crossing between post-bop and fusion. For the next album, Elektric Band II: Paint the World (1993), only Corea and Marienthal returned from the original lineup. The last album featuring the band's traditional lineup was Beneath the Mask (1991), a return to the electric jazz-funk of the second album. But two other compositions, the title track and 'Kicker,' are more traditional fusion pieces.Д¬orea still uses mostly acoustic piano, but Gambale plays electric guitar throughout.

The four-part piece 'Tale of Daring', which closes the album, relies on unconventional melodies and relatively free improvisation. Gambale also plays acoustic guitar on some tracks, lending a Flamenco-influenced sound to pieces like 'Eternal Child.' The Elektric Band's fourth album, Inside Out (1991), features some compositions that fall in the post-bop rather than the fusion category. Here Corea relies on acoustic piano, with synthesizers largely in the background. The third album, Eye of the Beholder, relies on softer sounds. Saxophonist Eric Marienthal joins the band and Frank Gambale replaces Henderson and Rios (who plays still on some tracks) to form what is considered the band's definitive lineup. The second album, Light Years (1987) is more funk-oriented than its predecessor. Weckl's electronic drums dominate the album's sound, with the guitar duties split between Scott Henderson and Carlos Rios. The keyboard sounds on the album are typical for the mid-1980s. The first Elektric Band album can be described as 'jazz-rock', though it is much closer to traditional jazz than the jazz-rock albums of 1970s. Following a long hiatus, the band reunited to produce 'To the Stars' in 2004. The Elektric Band was a little different in style compared to Return to Forever, in that it signified a move away from rock-oriented fusion into a more Post-bop style. Following the demise of Return to Forever, Corea established the musical ensemble in 1986. This latest version adds Flecktone alumni, bassist Victor Wooten and continues their stand at Yoshi's tonight and tomorrow in Oakland.Д¬orea's Elektric Band, is one of the most critically acclaimed jazz fusion bands of the past two decades. Since that time, Corea has continued to amaze and astound incredible solo albums Grammy awards his acoustic and electric line-ups recent collaborations with the likes of banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck, and of course his 'Elektric Band'. For three amazing nights in a row and a mere two blocks from my childhood home near the Carter Barron Amphitheater, I sat in awe of this groundbreaking new music that would ultimately become some of the very best of that bygone, jazz-fusion era. If my mind wasn't already blown, it surely was after seeing the next RTF line-up, which featured the debut of a young guitarist named Al DiMeola. That incarnation featured future legends, bassist Stanley Clarke, drummer Lenny White and Bill Connors. My first encounter with the enigmatic jazz pianist Chick Corea, came some thirty years ago with his now legendary group, Return to Forever.
