Return to Forever is a jazz fusion album by Chick Corea, simultaneously functioning as the debut album by 


the band of the same name. Unlike later albums by the group, it was released by the ECM label and produced 


by Manfred Eicher. The album was not released in the USA until 1975. The record is often considered one of 


the classic albums in electric jazz.





At this stage Corea's approach to jazz fusion was very different compared to other early fusion artists. 


Adventurous electric piano solos are backed with South American oriented rhythms of drummer Airto Moreira 


and the vocals and percussion of his wife Flora Purim. Stanley Clarke is the bassist of the group (playing 


electric bass on A-side and double bass on B-side) and Joe Farrell plays flute and saxophone. This first 


line-up of Return to Forever consists of musicians (excluding Joe Farrell) that were also playing on Stan 


Getz's album Captain Marvel that was released in the same year.





The first track can be divided into five parts. There are three short parts in which Corea plays simple, 


haunting melodies with Purim doubling them with her voice. Between these three parts there are two longer 


parts in which the whole band plays. These main parts are both based on their own riffs. Farrell plays a 


flute solo over the first main part and Corea plays solo over the second. Moreira's drum pattern gives the 


composition an airy feeling of its own. Purim sings along with riffs, screaming a bit towards the end. The 


overall mood of the composition is mysterious.





The second track, "Crystal Silence", is Corea's song. It has lyrics but this time a vocalist is not used at 


all and the track is played just by Corea and Farrell with some silent percussion on a background. Farrell 


performs a long saxophone solo. Third track, "What Game Shall We Play Today?", is another of Corea's songs. 


It has a very affectionate melody and Purim singing vocals. Farrell plays now a flute. Corea and Farrell 


give short solos between the second and the third verse.





The B-side of the album has only one track which consists of three different pieces of music. Probably 


they have been recorded without breaks and this is the reason why they are not separated on three individual 


tracks. The first seven minutes of the track consist of an improvised introduction featuring Corea and Clark. 


After this section ends the piece makes a transition into Sometime Ago. It is a Latin flavored piece with 


Purim's vocals and Farrell's flute solo. After that song Farrell switches to a saxophone and the band plays 


"La Fiesta" which is one of the Corea's jazz standards. Corea has written that most of Spanish songs deal 


about matters such as misery or torture but "La Fiesta", however, is about celebration. The song is an 


instrumental piece that relies on flamenco modes. Corea, Farrell and Clarke play all their own solos while 


Purim takes a percussionist's role.
