John McLaughlin and Chick Corea created two of the most explosive live fusion bands in the 1970s. McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra and Corea’s Return to Forever were two of the most popular instrumental groups of all time. Their music went far beyond the ordinary, fusing energy, spirituality, and emotion with improvisation and hard rock. These groups inspired a new generation to expand their own musical horizon. This concert tour will be the first time that these virtuoso improvisers join forces since they were both members of Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew-era band over 40 years ago. Playing music from then and now, this concert features Detroit native Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride, and the incomparable Brian Blade.
