"Return To Forever" in the SACD+CD format is a reissue of one of jazz fusion's most iconic albums, originally released in 1972 by Chick Corea under the ECM label. This edition offers both superior sound quality and versatility for audiophiles and collectors alike. The album marks a pivotal moment in jazz history, blending elements of Latin music, rock, and avant-garde jazz into an innovative sonic tapestry. Chick Corea?s visionary keyboard work is complemented by Stanley Clarke on bass, Flora Purim on vocals, Joe Farrell on saxophone/flute, and Airto Moreira on drums/percussion?each contributing to the album?s distinctive soundscape. ECM Records is renowned for its high-fidelity productions and commitment to artistic excellence since its founding in 1969 by Manfred Eicher; it has become synonymous with groundbreaking releases across genres like jazz and classical music. As one of Corea's most celebrated projects, "Return To Forever" set new standards for creativity within modern music.
The legendary first lineup of Chick Corea's fusion band Return to Forever debuted on this classic album (titled after the group but credited to Corea).
