TA,
Good timing. I heard return to forever for the 1st time on the Vault on Sirius a few days ago. The track the warrior or something like that and at first I thought it was Zappa. Very cool stuff, with amazing solos. I am def going to purchase a disc from Chick this holiday season. [Edited 12/22/07 19:37pm] Music is the best... | |

Good lookin' out, tA.
I was introduced to Chick and this band, back in the day when BET played real music and had a jazz program. I couldn't believe the chops in that band, and I was but a wee lil' teenager... | |

...from the Romantic Warrior album. I have it on good authority that the Return To Forever reunion is definitely going down. Summer tour with a U.S./Europe/U.S. sequence. tA Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 HELL YEAH! 
This was one of the first Heavy fusion albums that literally blew my mind, these dudes were clownin' on their instruments back then and Stanley's bass solo on Romantic Warrior is still one of my all time favorite bass solos! | |

And for the record this was one of the albums that pounded the doors open to an open musical mind. Great memories, i think I even remember the year, 1987? i use to bump this along with Wendy and Lisa's debut along with some Windamhill stuff.  | |

First JP cassette I bought initially confused me: After about the third track, I thought, "Man, this Patitucci guy sure is generous to let his guitar player take all those great solos on his album...  "
Then, yeah, it dawned on me. | |

Then, yeah, it dawned on me. You should check this particular album by bassist Brian Bromberg out... 
...You Know That Feeling It specifically states that "THERE IS NO GUITAR ON THIS ALBUM".

I saw Chick at Yoshi's coupla weeks ago and was blown away! The solos were truly amazing . . . especially Victor Wooten on bass, I have never seen a bass played like that, he definitely has his own unique style! | |
