"Return To Forever" is a landmark jazz fusion album by the legendary pianist and composer Chick Corea, released in 1972 on CD format by ECM Records. This groundbreaking work features an all-star lineup including Flora Purim, Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, and Airto Moreira. The album blends elements of jazz, Latin rhythms, and electronic textures to create a unique soundscape that has influenced generations of musicians. Chick Corea was one of the most innovative figures in modern jazz; his career spanned over five decades with multiple Grammy Awards and collaborations with legends such as Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. "Return To Forever" marked a pivotal moment in his discography, laying the foundation for future explorations in fusion music. ECM Records is renowned for its high-quality productions and commitment to artistic excellence across genres like jazz and classical music.
Certainly, this edition of Return to Forever wasn't inclined toward high-voltage jazz-rock (as the next one was), but this group's two albums still stand as some of the most imaginative and distinctive early fusion recordings.
