Return to Forever, Les Arbuckle

This Sunday Music Muse Day find me doing sometime I try not to do, buy a CD of a vinyl album I sold with all of my record collection two years ago. It's the CD of the Return to Forever Romantic Warrior. This is the jazz fusion classic by the pioneering group led by pianist Chick Corea, with Stanley Clark on bass, Lenny White on drums, and Al DiMeola on guitar. Besides the music the album cover art, by Wilson, McLean is one of my all-time favorites. Listening to the music is like being visiting by an old friend, and embracing warm memories.







My second selection is Les Arbuckle The Bush Crew. I admit I knew nothing of the leader, tenor saxophonist, Arbuckle, but picked this up on of the strength of the names of guitarist John Abercrombie  and Mike Stern, who's playing I've known for decades. This is a solid session, worth giving a listen.



With the arrival of September, some evenings start to feel Fall in the air.  I sort of welcome it, as I like the change of season. No matter the season, it always a time to listen to good music. Enjoy.
