Return to Forever August 28, 2011

Return To Forever, whose mind-blowing experimentation in jazz and rock transformed the music world, will debut a historic new lineup this summer on a massive tour of 32 US cities. Zappa Plays Zappa, the musical tribute to Frank Zappa, will join the bill alongside "Return To Forever IV" (RTF IV), the legendary group's fresh incarnation. The RTF IV lineup consists of core members Chick Corea (keys), Stanley Clarke (bass) and Lenny White (drums), along with Mahavishnu Orchestra alum and violin virtuoso Jean-Luc Ponty as well as guitarist Frank Gambale. Working together with complete creative compatibility and steeped in the tradition of extreme freedom of expression, these five pillars of jazz and rock have prepared a must-see performance that will please fans new and old. Their ever-evolving set list encompasses an amalgam of Return To Forever classics, highlights from each member's solo repertoire, and brand new compositions written for the RTF IV lineup.
