Though their paths crossed on the Miles Davis classic, 'In a Silent Way', and on Larry Coryell's 'Spaces', this album is the first actual collaboration between pianist Chick Corea & guitarist John McLaughlin.

The Five Peace Band truly is a super-group, the other members being the versatile bassist Christian McBride (acoustic & electric); saxophonist Kenny Garrett (a Miles alumnus too); and fusion drumming ace Vinnie Colaiuta.

This "in concert" double-disc set features cozy, intimate Corea-McLaughlin duets, sizzling electric playing, and enchanting acoustic passages. They pay tribute to Miles with a medley of "In a Silent Way" & "It's about That Time", with yet another Davis group graduate, Herbie Hancock, guesting on keyboards. Plus, there's even a tasty rendition of a bebop classic, Jackie McLean's "Dr. Jackle".

Aside from a righteous meeting-of-the-minds, 'Five Peace Band' proves that fusion as a concept is not played out.

Personnel: John McLaughlin (guitar, electric guitar); Chick Corea (piano, keyboards); Kenny Garrett (saxophone); Christian McBride (acoustic bass, electric bass); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums).
