The trek will feature music from the Grammy-winning band's four chart-topping records. A special Return to Forever anthology set, featuring remixed and remastered tracks from the albums "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy," "Where Have I Known You Before," "No Mystery" and "Romantic Warrior," will be released to coincide with the tour.

"It's been a long time coming, and I think it's going to be a blast!" group founder Corea said in a statement. "We plan to take the songs from the albums we made in the '70s and just play them like they've never been played before."

Di Meola added that the reunion--which features the same lineup the band sported from 1976-1974 and again for a brief stretch in 1983--is something the men have talked about for decades. "We've come close a few times, but finally the timing was right," he said.

"What made me want to do it," Corea told the Los Angeles Times recently, "was just recalling how great the feeling was playing with these guys. Just the experience of playing, when I thought, 'Wow, yeah, that was an amazing period--fun, creative, exciting.'"

All four members continue to tour behind their own projects. Clarke is backing his new CD, "The Toys of Men," which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Contemporary Jazz chart last month. Di Meola is supporting two recent releases: "Consequence of Chaos" and "Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Vol. 1: Music of Astor Piazzolla."

Corea collaborated with virtuoso banjo player Bela Fleck last year on "The Enchantment"; his most recent jazz fusion disc, "The Ultimate Adventure," came out in 2006.
