Return to Forever - Chick Corea

Gorgeous cover art + gorgeous music + gorgeous engineering = a truly definitive experience.

Toward the end of 1971, Chick Corea formed his first edition of Return to Forever with the extraordinary Stanley Clarke on acoustic bass, Joe Farrell on soprano sax and flute, Airto Moreira on drums and percussion and Moreira’s wife Flora Purim on vocals. On February 2 and 3, 1972, they recorded their self-titled debut for ECM, produced by genius producer Manfred Eicher and engineered by Tony May.

The result is an album with some of the most imaginative and distinctive early fusion recordings jazz-fusion recordings. An essential album both for the music and for the virtuoso musicians that make up the initial formation Return To Forever.
