The second edition of Chick Corea's Return to Forever only lasted three years, resulting in four influential recordings of which this was their third. Corea's versatile keyboards and composing talents, Al DiMeola's intense rockish guitar, Stanley Clarke's funky electric bass and Lenny White's powerful drumming combined to create a true fusion supergroup. Highlights of their passionate set include "No Mystery" and Corea's two-part "Celebration Suite."
