	CD Review of Bill Connors - Return on Tone Center @ jazzreview.com
		Bill Connors has spent the last 30 years moving through a myriad of phases of both popular and progressive jazz; most notably, Connors’ leading role in Chick Corea’s Return to Forever and his monumental work on “Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy”.
		Connors’ guitar swoons around O’Connell’s keys, while held fast by Plainfield’s precise drumwork; the melody traverses from the guitar to the piano and back again as Goines’ bass slurs around in its own sweet time — absolutely fantastic track to break the ice.
		The ensuing “Minor Matters” from Connor himself appears to be a pseudo-throwback and/or breakdown (or vice-versa) of the previous piece; O’Connell and Connor taunt the other, while Plainfield’s kit accents the dancing melodies with absolute precision.

	Bill Connors
		If Connors’ past albums can be likened to swimming in a pool at an all-night pool party, then Return is like taking a dive into the open sea.
		The new record finds both Bills playing lines that are almost too smooth, requiring conscious listening to reveal the tricks behind them.
		O’Connell has played a good deal with Sonny Rollins, and, according to Connors, that’s how O’Connell “learned to be supportive.” (Rollins is known for demanding supporting roles from his group.) But Connors is equally strong in supportive roles, such as interpreting O’Connell’s cascading tunes.

	Bill Connors: Return from Forever (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		If you were listening to electric jazz fusion in the early 1970s, you may remember Bill Connors as the original guitarist when Chick Corea took his Return to Forever band into the high voltage electric arena.
		Connors played on only one RTF album, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, a powerhouse of supercharged rock rhythms and breakneck jazz soloing, a more melodic successor to John McLaughlin’s similarly structured Mahavishnu Orchestra outings.
		Connors could’ve gone on to become a guitar god, as did his replacement in Corea’s group, Al DiMeola.

	Bill Connors \| Return
		Connors would return to a cleaner electric sound as a member of Garbarek's quartet and as guest on vibraphonist Tom van der Geld's under-appreciated release Path (1979).
		In the ensuing years Connors has continued to teach and study, and now he's back with an album that finds him in fine form with a completely unaffected and warm, big-bodied sound.
		Connors may have led a number of musical lives over the past thirty years, but they do share some common ground.

	Bill Connors \| Return
		Itâs Bill Connors, a veteran who has recorded or performed with many modern jazz legends, including Jack DeJohnette, Steve Khan, and Lee Konitz.
		While Connors is clearly in his own zone on the electric guitar, hints of Corea then and now can be heard on nearly every song, from the broken-time patterns of the piano and bass to the Weckl-esque drum play of Kim Plainfield.
		Combined with Connorsâ personal touch, as well as those of his sidemen, itâs a canât-miss combination.

		Frustrated by having to pay high New York rents while he tried to find time to woodshed, Connors moved to the West Coast.
		As with a lot of people my generation who are influenced by Bill Evans, we have a particular idea about improvisation, and we tend to believe that everyone else thinks like that, but they don't.

		Most of the songs seemed to be more vehicles and vamps for blowing on as opposed to full-fledged compositions.
