Return To Forever(Columbia 34682-LP. Some tracks include-The Endless Night,So Long Mickey Mouse,Do You Ever plus more! plus more!Jazz keyboard player Chick Corea's Return to Forever emerged as one of the key jazz-rock fusion bands of the 1970s. Like Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, they were formed by an alumnus of Miles Davis' late-'60s bands with the intention of furthering the jazz-rock hybrid Davis had explored on albums like Bitches Brew. At the time, this was seen as a means of creativity, a new direction for jazz, and as a way of attracting the kinds of large audiences enjoyed by rock musicians. Return to Forever started out as more of a Latin-tinged jazz ensemble, but Corea, influenced by the Mahavishnu Orchestra of John McLaughlin and some of the progressive rock bands coming out of Great Britain, notably Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, moved the group more toward rock, achieving considerable commercial success. A later re-orientation of the band gave it more of a big-band style before Corea folded the unit, retaining the Return to Forever name for occasional tours and other projects. In later years Chick Corea added the talents of Stanley Clarke to his mix. The LP has been autographed on the front cover by Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke...........CONDITION OF VINYL,COVER AND AUTOGRAPHS IS VG PLUS.
