Return to Forever
Day 17
#89 – Return to Forever is a jazz fusion group founded and led by pianist Chick Corea, started in 1972. Members have included Stanley Clarke, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira and Al Di Meola. Albums include: Where Have I Known You Before (1974), No Mystery (1975) and Romantic Warrior (1976).
I started thinking about the name when walking home from work. Return to Forever. Could I do something with return? Maybe something in a circle? When I got back home I wrote it out and suddenly realised the repeat of the ‘R’ at the start and the end. Perfect. Reading about the history of the band the members kept changing and this aspect of change led to the multi-colours and helped emphasise the name and idea.
