Return To Forever 2008 Tour Info

Jazz fusion fans rejoice: Chick Corea is putting the band back together.

After 30 years apart, the legendary Return To Forever will reunite for a summer tour of North America and Europe.

Corea, the band's founder and keyboardist, will be joined by the classic line-up of guitarist Al Di Meola, drummer Lenny White, and bassist Stanley Clarke for the tour, which kicks off on May 29 in Dallas and wraps in New York on Aug. 7.

Return To Forever was a major force in the jazz fusion movement of the 1970s with their electrifying blend of jazz and rock.

What made the band especially notable was the virtuosity of each musician on their respective instruments, from Di Meola's blazing guitar riffs to Clarke's innovative bass technique.

All the members of the group went on to successful solo careers after RTF disbanded in 1977. They reunited for a brief series of concerts in 1983.

The tour will cover more than 50 dates, primarily featuring music from their classic albums. An anthology set, produced by Corea and Clarke, will be released to coincide with the tour. The double-CD set features tracks compiled from "Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy," "Where Have I Known You Before," "No Mystery" and "Romantic Warrior."
