 Return to Forever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Return to Forever was a name for various jazz fusion bands that were founded and led by Chick Corea with Stanley Clarke.
The final version of Return to Forever featured a four piece horn section and Corea's wife Gayle singing vocals, and recorded just one studio album.
In 1983 the White/DiMeola line up returned briefly on the stage, but did not record a new album, only one track issued on Corea's Touchstone album entitled "Compadres".

 Biography - Return to Forever (Bio 908)
Return to Forever ultimately came to be viewed as a chapter in the career of Chick Corea, who was sometimes given sole credit on CD reissues of its albums.
Romantic Warrior, a concept album on medieval themes, was the first Return to Forever album not to be co-billed to Corea on the original LP.
With this personnel, Return to Forever recorded its seventh album, Musicmagic, which was released in March 1977.

 Ground and Sky review - Chick Corea - Return to Forever
The title track "Return To Forever" uses the spacey sound of the Rhodes piano with female vocals.
Corea's electric piano is the dominant sound on the album, but apart from some occasional plugged-in bass the record is otherwise acoustic.
Cataloging this release, therefore, is merely a matter of semantics; this has to be considered the first Return to Forever album — the first of two albums by the original roster of Corea, Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim.

 Amazon.com: Return to Forever: Music: Chick Corea
Return to Forever is a lyrical album that has beautiful melodies and strong improvisation from Joe Farrell while tastefully melding the Brazilian influences of Flora Purim and Airto Moreira.
"Return to Forever" is a marvelous album that stands in a genre all its own.
Whereas the former was an ultimate statement of stylistic exploration and the latter was the height of breathtaking ferocious musicianship, the first album by Chick Corea's Return to Forever is a masterptece of melody and free -spirited sensitivity.

 RETURN TO FOREVER: Romantic Warrior (Columbia / Legacy)
Romantic Warrior was the first RTF album recorded for Columbia, and to many (myself included) was the introduction of a radical 'new' sound--fusion.
In 1976, if you weren't listening to top 40, progressive rock was the musical flavor of the day.

 Chick Corea : Return to Forever - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
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.
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), featuring Joe Farrell on soprano sax and flute, the Brazilian team of vocalist Flora Purim and drummer/percussionist Airto Moreira, and electric bass whiz Stanley Clarke.
It wasn't actually released in the U.S. until 1975, which was why the group's second album, Light as a Feather, initially made the Return to Forever name.

 RETURN TO FOREVER Return To Forever reviews and MP3
Whereas the former was The ultimate statement of stylistic exploration and the latter was the height of breathtaking ferocious musicianship, this first album by Chick Corea's Return to Forever is a masterpiece of melody and free spirits.
I was hoping to see how the aforementioned "Romantic Warrior" measured up to my now older and wiser musical appetites, but the Erie County puplic library system only had a CD copy of this, their first album, dating from way back to early 1972.
I mean, the first track, "Return to Forever" is a masterpiece, it gives me chills everytime Airto's drums enter the scene on the first part.

The CD in question here is the 1976 release, “Romantic Warrior”, and it is the best recording that Return to Forever put out.
Less jazzy than previous or future Return to Forever recordings, this one has the right balance of electric power and raw fusion combined with mild jazz and some improvisation, and classical elegance that make it just right.
We return to the theme and it is time for the piano solo, and Chick gives us quite a nice treat.

 Return to Forever Return to the Seventh Galaxy: The Anthology
The music is taken from four albums recorded from October, 1972 through January, 1975 for Polydor records.
While the recording quality is not particularly good by today's standards and the electric instruments sound hard-edged and brash, the innovation and creativity of much of the music can still be appreciated today, and it stands the test of time pretty well.
If you already own these four RTF albums on CD, it probably isn't worth buying this set just for the live cuts.

 Amazon.co.uk: Return to Forever: Music
Chick Corea's "Return to forever" is a wonderful collection of tracks from a clearly brilliant pianist and his equally brilliant accompanying musicians.
There are interesting moments on the album, such as the climatic points of "Return to Forever", but the music also has a sickly sweet character to it.
The sumptuous title track is 12 minutes of spidery basslines, wordless chanting, floating piano clusters and light-as-air percussion.

 Return To Forever Appreciation Thread
After leaving Return to Forever, Clarke focused on his R&B and funk roots on numerous solo projects and collaborations with George Duke and Jeff Beck, among others, before joining with his Return to Forever band mate, Al DiMeola, and with Jean-Luc Ponty, to record The Rite of Strings.
I also like the 2-CD "Return to Forever Live!" set, which was originally released as a four-LP set and is now apparently difficult to find (a look on Amazon shows used copies available for around $50!).
This disc, which is the first in many years by the classic EB lineup of Chick on keyboards, Frank Gambale on guitars, Eric Marienthal on saxophones, John Patitucci on bass and Dave Weckl on drums, should be one of the top five fusion releases of the year, easily.

 Return to Forever (1972)
This is the first Return To Forever album, and in my opinion the best.
This record forever changed the way I played keyboard instruments, and when I got my first Rhodes, it was almost as if listening to and emulating Chick Corea's playing had made my style fit the instrument.
(Kenny G. should forever wither in shame after all he's done to an instrument that is capable of making such beautiful music as Farrell clearly demonstrates here.) I found this album to be a lovely bridge from Corea's work with Miles Davis.

 Ground and Sky review - Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior
If anything, the playing alone is worth listening to this disc.
The big three of jazz fusion in my opinion were Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return to Forever.
As luck would have it, the only album of theirs that the I could find here in Beckley was Romantic Warrior.

In late 1971, Chick Corea, already a pioneer in the emerging world of fusion-jazz, assembled a what-became-an-all-star band, Return To Forever.  With bassist Stanley Clarke staying by Corea& side, RTF's personnel changes would soon lead to the inclusion of master fusion drummer, Lenny White, and a young, fiery, guitar virtuoso, Al DiMeola.

By 1976, with increased reliance on Corea's banks of analogue synthesizers and Al Dimeola's searing electricguitar, the quartet had arrived at a musical crossroads that was more closely aligned with "progressive" ensembles of the day like Hands or Happy The Man than with real rockers orjazzmen.

Over the next few tracks, we run the gamut from bright, breezy, and perky ('Return To Forever'), through positively tribal ('Mnambo'), all the way up to sardonic and abstracted ('Landscape').
Eeben's style often seems tremendously out there - clearly jazz-influenced, melodically abstract, but capable of wonderful twists and turns.
So, we commence with 'Ground Expansion', all pensive and synthesizedly brassy, before the insanely funky 'Invitation' cuts in, and we have some serious grooving to do.

Returning to the pages of the book, she read that the technique, one which she was sure she had seen in a movie years ago, was concerned more with a mind over matter process than with the possibility of physical return.
She picked it up, glancing at the title: "A Return To Forever." Tucking the book inside her bag, she decided she would call tomorrow to let him know she'd found his book and would return it by messenger if he needed it before Saturday.
The author contended that it was quite possible to transport the self back to another time, providing a person was in the place to which one wished to return.
