Return To Forever

It\'s only natural that, following his stint in Miles Davis\' dark and mysterious electric outfit, keyboardist Chick Corea would make a smooth, sunny about-face with his first Return to Forever lineup. Brazilian singer Flora Purim and drumming hubby Airto Moreira brought a tropical tinge to Corea\'s influential 1972 fusion classic, propelling the *samba* groove of \"What Game Shall We Play Today,\" the Mexican-*flamenco* verve of \"Sometime Ago - La Fiesta,\" and the reflective pleasures of everything else, with Corea bobbing benignly overhead on electric piano.

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.
