Free Music Review: I can't believe there's only 20 reviews.
Hit: 5 Stars
This music is unbelievably good. Stanley Clarks AMAZING bass solo alone is worth the entire album, and I'm not even fond of bass solos. Chick and Al's playing is as good or better than ever before. I've got most most of early Return to Forever releases, but as a professional rock and blues pianist, I'm esp. humbled and enthralled by this latest release. I would happily go down to the crossroads and sell my soul to be able to play like Chick does here. A couple of the tracks are not quite as "fusion" as the original return to forever, but that just makes the release all the more dynamic and interesting.
This recording is absolutely beautiful, and I consider it to be, in the short time I've had it, one of my 10 most favorite recordings ever made. Seriously. (Tales From Topographic Oceans, Eat a Peach, Abraxis, Koln Concert etc.)
Free Music Review: An Aural (500 Miles) "High"
Hit: 5 Stars
A brief one here, folks:
Totally enjoyed this disc. Bought it today, heard it driving to work (on a rain-filled, soggy, crappy, Toronto Monday morning) and immediately a huge smirk crossed my face. Sound quality is superb. The songs fantastic. The playing flawless. I rarely buy live recordings (too many have a "you had to be there" kind of flavor) but I wanted to reconnect with RTF after too many years being "away" from them. If you're a fan of A) RTF and its associated members, B) so-called "fusion" jazz and C) so-called "progressive" rock, then take tremendous leaps to the "store" and BUY this one!
A complete experience and a total winner!
Free Music Review: RTF - A Return To Style
Hit: 5 Stars
It's funny writing about RTF that's coming from a prog rock listener. Growing up with Yes, ELP, Genesis and King Crimson doesn't seem to be a convincing factor to make a comment on this band's return to the limelight. I had my moments of flirtation with jazz fusion. Experimented with a lot of Weather Report and Jaco Pastorius cd's and they're still in my collection. It was out of curiosity that I had to buy this cd since the names are pretty familiar - how would you not know Chick Corea, Al di Meola, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White? After 25 years, you'll be thinking, are these guys just phoning it in or what? And I was humbled. It didn't disappoint. It is awesome!Free Music Review: Return to Forever Reunion is all we remember and more
Hit: 5 Stars
This reunion of the best lineup (in my opinion) of Return to Forever was all I had hoped for. The music sounds as good, maybe even better than back in the 70s when I heard it the first time. Chick, Stanley, Al and Lennie are still amazing. The live performance begs the question of what kind of new music could they make now. Sadly, it seems to have been a one tour and done. From what I understand, Al doesn't want to do it again. I think the others would. It would be really nice to hear some new RTF.Free Music Review: Wonderful. Awesome. Excellent.
Hit: 5 Stars
Went to see those four powerhouses of sound twice on this tour. This cd puts me right back in my seat at the Fox Theatre in St Louis. Damn it was good. No the word is orgasmic. If you like RTF even a little bit buy this. When the concert DVD comes out buy it also. Chick, Al, Stanley, Lenny...Thank you.
