Light as a Feather

Light as a Feather is the second studio album by the first edition of the jazz fusion band Return to Forever led by pianist Chick Corea. It features saxophonist/flautist Joe Farrell, bassist Stanley Clarke, percussionist Airto and his wife, vocalist/percussionist Flora Purim. Content The style of the music remains mostly the same as the first album, though Purim’s vocals were given a larger role. Corea produced the album for Polydor Records. Clarke played double bass, though for most of his later career he has played bass guitar. "Captain Marvel" is a fast Latin piece that provided the name for Stan Getz's album released in the same year (with Corea, Clarke and Moreira guesting). Airto plays percussion and Purim sings without words during the song's main riff. The album ends with "Spain", which was inspired by, and whose introduction was taken from, Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez (1939).
