Tonight jazz fusion legends Return to Forever make a stop at the UB's Center For the Arts. Formed by ex-Bitches' Brewpianist Chick Corea and acclaimed bass player Stanley Clarke, Return to Forever has filtered a number of musicians in and out, and before reforming for its 2011 tour, took on its fourth big change (hence Return 2 Forever IV). Aside from perennial drummer, and fellow Bitches Brew alum Lenny White, the group has made two new additions. The first is accomplished guitarist and former Chick Corea band mate Frank Gambale, and the second being the addition of the spectacular Jean-Luc Ponty. Ponty is a former member of jazz fusion icons the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and is world renowned for his violin abilities, however, also plays saxophone, clarinet, and a plethora of instruments. There will be over a century of acquired musical ability on the stage for their performance, and their rare appearance in Buffalo may not happen again ever. Combined with opener Zappa Plays Zappa, this show will no doubt be a mind blower. The show starts at 7:30pm and tickets are $22, $37, $52, $67 presale.
