This summer, Return To Forever, Chick Corea (keyboards), Stanley Clarke (bass), Lenny White (drums) and Al Di Meola (guitar), reunited for an unprecedented return to the concert stage after more than 25 years apart. To commemorate the World Tour 2008, they have personally selected and overseen the careful remixing and remastering of their groundbreaking repertoire, The Anthology. Selected out of their virtual explosion of creativity, the band culls tunes from their classic albums Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (1973), Where Have I Known You Before (1974), the Grammy-winning No Mystery (1975) and their top-selling gold record Romantic Warrior (1976) - 20 tracks that propelled the band into history and made them a titanic influence on an entire generation of players. Free-form FM radio of the 70's played these tunes alongside rock peers Yes, King Crimson and Genesis and other burgeoning jazz crossovers like Headhunters and Mahavisnu Orchestra in a heady aural stew of progressive jazz & rock. Even the hip-hop contingent has found riffs for clever sampling and artists including Lupe Fiasco and Dr. Dre acknowledge the power of the group's grooves. The packaging of this new collection is no less definitive than the music it exhibits. Essential.
