Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel is a jazz album by saxophonist Stan Getz released in 1974 on the Columbia Records label. The album features performances by Getz with Chick Corea, who composed most of the material, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Tony Williams. Shortly before recording this album Corea, Clarke and Moreira had formed the core of the group Return to Forever, and Captain Marvel shares the Latin jazz and jazz fusion sound that Corea was exploring in this era. Three pieces from this album, La Fiesta, Five Hundred Miles High and Captain Marvel, were already published on Chick Corea's previous solo record titled Return to Forever in 1972.
