“I think when you look at the elements, the ingredients, of [Return to Forever’s] music, they are things that people still appreciate. People admire the virtuosic nature of the music. I’ve seen that admiration even by guys who are into completely different types of music. They look at something like Return to Forever and can see accomplishment. Return to Forever has a compositional element to it, but also a jam band quality, and I think people react to that.” - Stanley Clarke

“I got in the studio and had this English engineer. We started playing, and he said, “Oh man, you better record that.” At first, I couldn’t figure out who was going to solo on it and decided, what the hell, I’ll just do the solo. And taking that solo kind of changed things in the bass world.“ - Stanley Clarke
“[I]f there was a Bible of the history of doubling with both the double bass and the electric bass, Stanley would be its Genesis. It all starts with him.” - Christian McBride
