I personally can never get enough of Return To Forever. No matter what line-up you listen to they are simply one of the best Jazz Fusion groups ever, in my opinion anyway. This is yet another fabulous performance everyone should own! Have A Great Sunday!!

Two Piano Jazz Legends on the same stage inspiring each other to such heights of performance that you just have to sit and take notice. One of my favorite set of bootlegs in my collection is the soundboards from Billy Joel & Sir Elton John's Head To Head Tour. This performance, this pairing of players equals and I personally would dare to say tops those recordings. It really comes through, the fun, friendship, and mutual musical respect, in this show. This show started my Sunday Morning Jazz wake up. I think it will be a great show for yours...

About 4 or 5 inches of snow has fallen this week. It's snowing right now and everything out back looks so peaceful as I sit here drinking my morning coffee. This show from quite a few years ago is playing on the stereo. One of my favorite Jazz Fusion outfits playing on yet another program usually reserved for Rock and it's many off shoots. So many Metal Heads I know are into Return To Forever, it would amaze you. Most say it's for the guitar playing no matter which guitar player is in the group. My guitarist in Psychosis said it was for the song writing. My bass player of course said it was for Stanley Clarke. I have to agree with my guitarist that it's for the song writing. This remaster is a great example of the awesome live performances that also made Return To Forever a favorite of many....

3 songs in 43 minutes, it's short on titles not on outstanding performances. I am really enjoying the fact that a Detroit born and bred Kenny Garrett is playing sax on this one. Chick Corea only plays with the best, knowing that he picked a Detroit musician is a point of pride. I love it when 1 of us makes it out of The D. Detroit has always been a deep ocean of talent with a rich musical history. Oddly enough with with that rich history it's always been a scene that was hard to break out of. A lot of the music that came/comes form Detroit was/is seen as empty of anything but energy. The MC5 seen as a huge influence on Garage Rock, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Alt-Rock and Grunge were dismissed in their day. Their are more stories than that but The MC5 are the best known example, also this isn't Jazz talk so I will end this little rant by saying enjoy the music and check out those sax solos!!

This is a great sounding show from the Bill Conners era of Return To Forever. Bill Conners left in April 1974. He stated that he had musical differences with the shift toward a more Rock fusion sound, which he likened to Mahavishnu Orchestra. He also stated that he had a growing dislike for Chick Corea's Scientology way of running the band. After leaving Bill Conners started acting as a session musician playing with John Abercrombie and ex-bandmate Stanley Clarke. Bill Conners also released his own albums which included some acoustic guitar recordings. Of course all fans know he was replaced with one Al Di Meola. So let's all enjoy a little Return To Forever this Sunday Morning!

Wow! Can you believe it's time for Sunday Morning Jazz already. I don't know about you but I have had a busy week and I am ready to listen to some Jazz, sip my coffee, and watch the wind dance through the trees in my backyard.

What a show, what a recording the Legendary Mike Millard recorded the Legendary Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock! I really shouldn't have to say anything more but I am going to. This recording can be called soundboard quality! It is one of Mike MIllard's best recordings by far. That is saying a lot, but since it was such a laid back atmosphere Mike Millard was able to make a great audio capture. The audience never steps on the sound of the performance at all. The soundboard man had an awesome mix, everything presented on the stage is clearly heard. The performance is everything you would expect from two of the best keyboardists in Jazz...Enjoy the show my friends!

When checking the wave files for MPEG 2 files tested as MPEG 3 files tested as CDDA. This could sometimes be due to noise reduction, a reel to reel source, a digital rebroadcast source, or of course an actual lossy source. I have included the aucdtect verbose text with the file set for you to check.

What can be said about Chick Corea or Return To Forever that I haven't said many times here before. This is an awesome show with a fabulous cast of Jazz Greats for your Sunday Morning Jazz enjoyment!!

That's right over 3 hours of Return To Forever, and a Pre-FM recording at that! That being said I must add that this is not your typical Pre-FM recording. This recording comes from the complete original soundboard tapes. These tapes are a little raw and some levels can be uneven at times. That being said this is a great listening pleasure for all of us who love Return To Forever.

This recording also is from just before Bill Connors leaves the band. When Bill Connors leaves Detroit Jazz Artist Earl Klugh joins the band temporarily. Earl Klugh's time in the band is very short and Al Di Meola steps in to solidify what most fans consider the definitive line-up of Return To Forever. So clear some time, sit back and listen to some awesome music.

This is a very large file set so both early and late shows have been split up for easier downloading, all files can be opened separately.

In my haste to make my last post I didn't do a very good search and posted a show from Miles Davis that had been released on the Bootleg Series #3 Miles At The Fillmore. So I had to delete that post. So then I had to come up with a show from the same line-up and same quality. This recording is just that. Containing both the early and late shows from the Sextet's March 6, 1970 appearance at The Fillmore East. The March 7, 1970 show was released as It's About Time in 2001 but this show remains unreleased. Many consider this show to be superior to the official March 7 release. This two night stand was the last shows that Wayne Shorter would play with Miles Davis.

I downloaded this from BigO a great resource for bootlegs in a wide range of genres in MP3 format. BigO sometimes pair up recordings from similar artists to round out CDs. This time they paired the experimental music of Chick Corea Circle and Herbie Hancock Mwandishi. Both performances also come from The Jazz House in 1971.

BigO split the tracks "Titelfolge" and "Speak Like A Child" for easier downloading from their site.
