'Suite For Chick' is a heartfelt homage to the late jazz maestro Chick Corea. This collection features reinterpretations of 'City Gate Rumble', 'Time Track', and 'Hymn of the Heart' from the Chick Corea Elektric Band, as well as Return to Forever's classic 'Romantic Warrior'. These vibrant renditions celebrate Corea's enduring legacy in the jazz world. Chick Corea played a crucial role in shaping Miles Davis's electric fusion era and was a key member of his Lost Quintet. He was also a founding force behind Return to Forever and many other influential groups. Bangkok-based Maarten Goetheer collaborates with top Thai drummer Pong Nakornchai, blending Wurlitzer chords, Moog basslines, ARP leads, and signature Rhodes phasings. Nakornchai, a Master's graduate in Jazz Studies from Mahidol University, leads his own quartet and embodies the progressive spirit of modern jazz in Thailand. Maarten's inspiration stems from his musical upbringing; his father, Gerard Goetheer, was a jazz pianist. This environment fostered his deep appreciation for music. A pivotal moment came when he heard Masters at Work remixing Tania Maria, igniting his vision to merge genres and create something new. With 'Suite for Chick' Maarten wanted to incorporate a wider range of modern influences that he became infatuated with throughout his musical career such as techno, Italo, cosmic disco, dub, acid, boogie, proto-house, & ambient music. Bringing these genres together is his current and unique interpretation of the jazz fusion moniker.Tracklisting:A1. City Gate Rumble (Original)A2. City Gate Rumble (Reprise Dub)A3.
