Stanley Clarke the bass player for the New Barbarians and many others is reforming the super group "Return to Forever" with a real great lineup:
Chic Corea - Keyboards
Al Di Meola - Guitar
Stanley Clarke - Bass
Lenny White - Drums
What a great return!!¨Probably many of you don't like this kind of music but is really enjoyable especially live.
WARNING: Their music has nothing to do with the music of the Stones or they as solo artists, probably the closest will be Charlie and some jazz guitars by Mick Taylor but really far from it too.
Check this video, in one way the guitar by Al here seems similar to Mick Taylor's work with Miyuki in the album "Mick and I"

BTW, last tour of this band was more than 30 years ago!
After a touring absence of more than 30 years, the potent jazz-rock flagship quartet edition of Return to Forever returns in 2008. This highly anticipated reunion will see the group’s classic lineup—Corea on keyboards, Al Di Meola on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass and Lenny White on drums—embark on an expansive tour that will stretch into 2009, with dates in Europe and the United States. A concert DVD could well be released, featuring the band revisiting the material from their years together.
The chemistry between these unbelievable musicians was, and remains, undeniable and this historic reunion promises to be one of the most important musical happenings of the decade. Check out this video for the full story of the band, the reunion and amazing footage of their first day back together in the rehearsal room.
We are pleased to offer a special presale beginning Monday, March 31 at 10am. Click here to go the Ticketmaster presale page and use the password "Variety" (no quotation marks).

Most shows at Universal are free if you know what you're doing. I think I might check it out.
