"Power Of" is an acoustic trio consisting of Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White. This release features a complete, high-quality audience recording of the final December 2nd performance from Three's 2009 Tokyo tour.

The latest live performance by the three core members of Return To Forever was a truly fulfilling show, as Chick Corea himself described it, "playing a wide range of songs, from RTF unplugged versions and jazz standards to new compositions written specifically for this trio."

This title captures the highlight of that final performance—a special night filled with surprises—in superb sound quality, achieved through 24-bit digital remastering on the high-quality original master, a hallmark of the Wildlife label.

The show opened with Chick Corea's opening line, "Enjoy...Myself!", and from the very beginning, a wonderful performance unfolded, showcasing the charm of the acoustic trio, featuring plenty of solos from Stanley and Lenny on the standard "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise," Bill Evans' "Waltz For Debby," and the familiar "Bud Powell" for Chick Corea fans.

Next, led by Chick's playful MC, Gail Moran appeared and sang "Someday My Prince Will Come" with her unchangingly beautiful voice. Following that, the main part of the show concluded with a new song for the trio, "La Cancion De Sophia," a phenomenal bass solo by Stanley, and then seamlessly transitioning into "No Mystery."

Gail Moran reappeared on stage for the encore, greeted by thunderous applause. The setlist, starting with "500 Miles High" and ending with "Spain," provided the perfect conclusion to this dreamlike night, exceeding the fans' expectations.
