Issued in a standard jewel case with a black tray and a 6-panel folded insert (booklet)."Return To Forever" on CD presents one of the key milestones in modern jazz and jazz fusion, led by visionary pianist and composer Chick Corea and released on the renowned label ECM Records. Recorded in the early 1970s, this album marks a turning point in Corea's work: lyrical, acoustic-inspired piano playing meets subtle electric textures, Brazilian influences, and exploratory improvisations. The pieces unfold in extended forms, with flowing melodies, a deep sense of space and dynamics, and a strong focus on interplay between the musicians. "Return To Forever" is both accessible and sophisticated, suitable for attentive listening as well as for discovering new details with each spin, and is regarded as a cornerstone for fans of contemporary jazz and fusion.
ECM Records, founded in Germany in 1969, is internationally respected for its audiophile quality, minimalist artwork, and a carefully curated catalogue spanning jazz, contemporary classical music, and genre-transcending projects. The label stands for crystalline sound, attention to detail in production, and a distinctive aesthetic that has shaped the way modern jazz is recorded and perceived. With releases by many of the most important jazz musicians of the last decades, ECM has become synonymous with timeless, high-quality recordings that retain their impact far beyond current trends.
Chick Corea (1941-2021) was one of the most influential jazz pianists and composers of the modern era. After early work with legends such as Miles Davis, he became a central figure in the development of jazz fusion, combining acoustic jazz, Latin influences, and electric sounds. Over his long career, he received numerous Grammy Awards and recorded a wide range of landmark albums in small groups, big band-like formations, and solo settings. Corea's hallmark combination of virtuosity, melodic imagination, and openness to experimentation made him a role model for generations of musicians and helped define the sound of contemporary jazz. | | | Producer: |
