Return to Forever was an American ⁠jazz fusion⁠ band that was founded by pianist ⁠Chick Corea⁠ in 1972.⁠[2]⁠ The band has had many members, with the only consistent bandmate of Corea's being bassist ⁠Stanley Clarke⁠. Along with ⁠Weather Report⁠, ⁠The Headhunters⁠, and ⁠Mahavishnu Orchestra⁠, Return to Forever is often cited as one of the core groups of the jazz-fusion movement of the 1970s. Several musicians, including Clarke, ⁠Flora Purim⁠, ⁠Airto Moreira⁠ and ⁠Al Di Meola⁠, came to prominence through their performances on Return to Forever albums.

After playing on ⁠Miles Davis⁠'s jazz-fusion albums ⁠In a Silent Way⁠ (1969) and ⁠Bitches Brew⁠ (1970), Corea formed an ⁠avant-garde jazz⁠ band called ⁠Circle⁠ with ⁠Dave Holland⁠, ⁠Anthony Braxton⁠ and ⁠Barry Altschul⁠. In 1972, after converting to ⁠Scientology⁠, Corea decided he wanted to communicate better with his audience. This meant performing a more accessible style of music than avant-garde jazz.

Return to Forever first disbanded in 1977 after five years and seven studio albums. The band never released another studio album, but occasionally reunited for live performances until Corea's death in 2021.
