Artists Information:

As shown throughout the tour, Corea and McLaughlin are truly kindred spirits, given that both are brave musical explorers and virtuosos on their respective instruments. As young jazz artists, they both did stints with Miles Davis and appeared together on the groundbreaking jazz/rock/funk classic Bitches Brew before forming their own revolutionary bands: Corea’s Return To Forever and McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Five Peace Band marks the duo’s first collaboration with a band, presenting eclectic nights of highly creative music that includes nods to Miles, intricate acoustic jazz, burning jazz/rock/funk, and intimate duets. Also in the mix are Corea and McLaughlin classics.
