-Legendary jazz-rock fusion band Return to Forever is the focus of two
upcoming Eagle Rock Entertainment releases. The two-CD live recording,
?Return to Forever Returns,? drops March 17. Coming May 12 is ?Live at
Montreux? in both DVD and Blu-Ray versions.

Both projects spring from Return to Forever?s 2008 concert tour of North America and Europe?the group?s first tour in 25 years. Reuniting for the 54-concert series were keyboardist Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke, guitarist Al Di Meola and drummer Lenny White.


-?Down the Wire? is the title of the new Spyro Gyra album coming April 28 from Heads Up International/Concord Music Group. It?s the follow-up to the group?s 2007 Grammy Award-nominated outing, ?Good to Go-Go.? Spyro Gyra?s 2008 holiday release, ?A Night Before Christmas,? also earned a Grammy nod for best pop instrumental album.
