He continued to work with various groups right up to his death. In 1972 he formed Return to Forever, an electric jazz rock group with a strong Latin flavour which became one of the most successful groups of the decade.Įqually at home with classical music, he recorded The Mozart Sessions with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and his own piano concerto “Spain” with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. He played with Miles Davis from 1968 to 1970 and this made him an international star.
