im currently listening to chick coreas latest release "To the stars" and i am in love with it. i was wondering if anyone could recomend other artists/albums along the lines of this album. i really like it and i want more.
Try some of the earlier Elektric Band albums (if you can find them). Also, try Chick's earlier fusion group, Return to Forever (I think you would like 'Romantic Warrior') Other groups/albums in a high-energy technical fusion vein: Mahavishnu Orchestra - 'The Inner Mounting Flame' Front Page - 'Front Page' Christian McBride's most recent solo album Al Di Meola - 'Casino' (and his other albums from that period) Tribal Tech Gary Willis Vital Techtones Bela Fleck & The Flecktones
Tribal Tech is probably closest to CCEB in terms of instrumentation and composition. You might also like the Yellowjackets, though they're a little less "out there" in terms of their compositional style.
