I haven't even read the article yet. Last saw Return to Forever like 11 years ago. What a sad announcement. RIP Man. Quote
Draconator Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 This is a huge loss in the world of music. The very first album I bought at age 15 was RTF "Light As A Feather". Quote

No, I guess it's not a RTF album, it's a Chick Corea album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Forever_(Chick_Corea_album) Quote

Last time I saw them the lineup was Chick, Al, Stan, and Lenny... this was like 10 years ago at Ruth Eckert Hall in Clearwater. Stunning how great they were then... show ended and it was like wtf did I just see and hear. As an aside... Flora Purim did some Great work with George Duke on some of his solo albums. She heard me cry lp would be the most notable imo. 1 Quote

LewPort71 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I was fortunate to see Return to Forever in college in 1975. Little did I know how good they were. I was just a young whippersnapper then and did not know better RIP to one of the giants in the musical world. Edited February 12, 2021 by LewPort71 Quote
T&C Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Al Di Meola 7h · The great Chick Corea left this life one year ago today but the incredible music he gave us and the meaningful memories will live on in my mind forever. Joining Return to Forever was for me a dream come true. Chick was my favorite musician and RTF was my favorite band when I was 19 years old. It was a non stop groundbreaking musical journey. We were at the forefront of a new idiom called Jazz-Rock Fusion along with WEATHER REPORT and MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. An extremely exciting time the mid 70’s were! Thank you, dear Chick for the legacy you gave to the world and for believing in me and giving me the chance to play with you, my hero! Quote
BringBackFergy Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Is this some dude that played drums? Quote
gdabillsfan Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 RIP Chick, he and RTF were one of the fusion bands that led me to be a faithful listener to Jazz. Sorry to hear he's gone. Quote
