The masters of fusion jazz play some of their most famous songs from the 1970s, live in concert.
Chick Corea - Piano, Synthesizer Stanley Clarke - Double Bass and Bass Guitar Lenny White - Drums, Percussion Al Di Meola - Guitar
Enjoy!
Thank you!
Amazing Album
Can’t believe it was 10 years ago already to when I saw them reunite for this one-off tour. Sounded great and all players put out great performances. I saw Al Dimeola last year and was still good, but didn’t have the fire of the 2008 Return To Forever show.
Welcome to 4/188 time.
How can musicians be so talented and adept and still not generate a single catchy tune to stick in your head?
No melody. No phrasing.
Just a collection of notes in shifting keys and 4/188 time.
I so don’t get jazz. I don’t understand the appeal of a genre that does not stir emotion.
Jazz isn’t for humming,it’s for feeling VERY mellow.
Works for me.

Came upon this today while binge watching an old TV show:

I love RTF
Don’t forget Bill Connors
I had a chance to see RTF on their 2008 tour when they came to Dallas, but finances were so tight at the time, I had to pass.
That was a bit of a heartbreak, but not totally. I was friends with the family back in the day, and have supped with Chick and his kin many times.
Never got to know the other members of the band, but I knew Chick well enough that he would sometimes encourage me to keep working at my own music.
His mom was like a grandma to all us budding musicians on the scene. She was also a scary good Italian chef.
You so have the heart, mind, and soul for it.
Take five was pretty catchy.
You may act crazy, but I always knew there was something deep and intellectual about you ;-)
Wonderful.
Waaaaaay back in my youth,the wonderful 50s,I’d listen to that type of music at 2:00 AM,sipping on a scotch.
Thanks for sharing.

I’m a huge fusion, prog rock fan, but like everything.
I went to see Maynard Ferguson at the Idora Park Ballroom as a teen, The other kids were off to see Zepplin.
I Am so glad I went to all those shows
A bluegrass fest in WV is a HOOT!
So was a lot of stuff by Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
I saw Dimeola, Mclaughlin an Paco Delucia, Saw the late great Larry Corryel a dang ol Texan.
You will hear every Stevie Ray signature chop here in this 1969 recording by Larry.
Saw them both
