In 2004 Chick put the original Elektric band back together to perform his “To The Stars" CD. When Chick hit the stage with Dave Weckl, John Patitucci, Eric Marienthal and Frank Gambale they played for over two and a half hours which included “To The Stars" as well as a second set of classic Elektric Band tunes, Chick solo classics like Spain and Blue Miles and a few other surprises.

This week we'll continue a week of focus on activities across the pond with a special feature we call “THE GREATS OF EURO-FUSION."

This Saturday we'll salute one of the greats of MOJA as we present our weekly feature WORDS & MUSIC on MOJA Radio this one titled “AMINA FIGAROVA: EUROJAZZ SUPERSTAR!" Go backstage at the Jazz Standard in New York City with Russ Davis to meet one of the reigning stars of modern jazz piano who was born and still resides in Europe .

How she then moved to Holland to continue her musical studies before coming to Boston to the Berklee College of Music. Then returning to Holland to begin her solo career which in the past 15 years has established her as one of the unique and forceful voices in Modern Jazz.
