Five Peace Band
Each later ventured out to form his own revolutionary band: McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra and Corea’s Return to Forever. The innovative music played by these two groups attracted huge audiences in the ‘70s and helped shape a new genre of music, turning multitudes of rock fans on to a new form of jazz.
Since then they have both had extraordinarily prolific careers, with continual creative output spanning many genres of music and in a host of different musical settings, while maintaining unparalleled artistic integrity

Chick Corea / John McLaughlin: Five Peace Band Live
by Chris Kompanek
From the psychedelic cover art to the expansive and innovative playing, Five Peace Band Live is a throwback to the great live albums Miles Davis made in the late-1960s-1970s, with some of the same musicians. Chick Corea and John McLaughlin actually met in 1969 during the recording sessions that would become the classic fusion albums In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew (both on Columbia). Thirty years later they play the title piece from the former on ...

The whole that is The Five Peace Band certainly seems to be less than the sum of its parts, at least as they played the final concert of their extended tour at The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts on May 1. And the most memorable moments actually came from the least illustrious names in the group.

The chance to experience the evolution of a one-time group over the course of a single tour is a rare one. Even if a live album is released, it's more often than not recorded towards the end of the tour, capturing the group at its supposed best. For legendary artists Chick Corea and John McLaughlin, however, it's no ...

by John Kelman
Superstar collaborations often look good on paper but don't pan out in reality, so it's a real pleasure to see that the pairing of two modern legends--keyboardist Chick Corea and guitarist John McLaughlin--is far more than some marketing representative's wet dream. Teaming with three younger players who add their own cachet--saxophonist Kenny Garrett, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta--Five Peace Band Live captures the group on the first leg of a nearly year-long tour, hot on the heels of ...

The reunion of Chick Corea and John McLaughlin—together for the first substantial time since their days with Miles Davis recording In a Silent Way(Columbia, 1969) and Bitches Brew—may be the most obvious feature of their new collaboration, Five Peace Band; but anyone hoping for a throwback would be disappointed. Corea and McLaughlin have been around the musical world dozens of times since those days, ...

Looking to the Present While Peeking at the Past, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett and Brian Blade.
The Five Peace Band, a jazz-rock juggernaut, presents a parody of abundance. Led by the guitarist John McLaughlin and the keyboardist Chick Corea both restless virtuosos, and legends at 67 the group works hard and fast, with heroic stamina and superhuman technique. Its overall effect can be exhilarating and exhausting. On Thursday, in its first of several sold-out nights at ...

REVIEW Back in the era when Chick Corea and John McLaughlin pushed jazz-rock to its virtuosic limits, the musicians assembled before a packed Royce Hall Thursday night would have been called a “supergroup."
Even the name Five Peace Band evokes that time, when “peace, love and understanding" was a deeply felt rallying cry, not a marketing slogan. But unlike many a supergroup, this well-rehearsed -- but not too tight -- collective is the real McCoy. Its precise, often ...

Based on first impressions, the '70s were back at Royce Hall on Thursday night. Led by two titans of jazz fusion, that controversial sub-genre that began with Miles Davis' “In a Silent Way," John McLaughlin and Chick Corea opened their North American tour with an ensemble dubbed the Five Peace Band.
The UCLA event brought the guitarist and the keyboardist together for the first time since before the two left Davis' band to further blend jazz with rock and world ...
