Like Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, it was a group formed by an alumnus of Miles Davis' late-'60s bands with the intention of furthering the jazz-rock hybrid Davis had explored on albums like Bitches Brew.
At the time, this was seen as a means of creativity, a new direction for jazz, and as a way of attracting the kinds of large audiences enjoyed by rock musicians.
In its time, it rose and fell according to the popular and critical response to jazz fusion in general, gaining accolades and healthy sales early on, but suffering from the backlash that all progressive jazz endured after the 1970s, when musical trends turned conservative and the remnants of jazz-rock mutated into smooth contemporary jazz.

 Booman Tribune ~ A Progressive Community
Return to Forever was a jazz fusion band of the 1970's, with varying composition but consistently with Chick Corea on keyboards and Stanley Clarke on bass.
By 1973 the band had became a quartet playing rock-influenced jazz, a composition that was maintained - with changes in guitarists and drummers from time to time - through 1976, a period of almost constant touring and studio recording.
At the time, this was seen as not only a creative new direction for jazz, but also as a way of attracting the kinds of large audiences enjoyed by rock musicians.

Edward Kane, for jazzreview.com, wrote, “Chick Corea easily rates as one of the greatest and most prolific artists in jazz history, whether the measuring stick is applied to the number and quality of his recordings or to the number of styles with which he has experimented and mastered during his long career.
Hampton, named a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master in 2005, is renowned for his work both as a performer and an educator.

Towards that end, "St. Louis Blues" is transmogrified by the soulful vocals and funky chromatic harmonica of Stevie Wonder; "It Ain't Necessarily So" becomes an ominous, angular jazz vamp, with saxmen James Carter and Kenny Garret trading arch, sly interjections.

Mendoza primarily uses his guest artists as soloists atop the lush strings and winds of the orchestra in such a way that we rarely notice the distinction between the two.
His arrangements are such that we scarcely notice that the jazz rhythm section has been tucked within the orchestral setting with little disruption for a perfect mesh of stylistic characters.

It's unusual for an instrumentalist to record a tribute album to a singer, but Sinatra was such a distinctive stylist and so much of a musical innovator that there's plenty for saxophonist Lovano to sink his teeth into as he tackles the Sinatra repertoire.
Backed by such jazz luminaries as violinist Mark Feldman and firebrand pianist Kenny Werner, Lovano takes apart Sinatra standards like "I've Got The World On A String" and "One For My Baby," illuminating the compositions with his musical insights.
