Captain Marvel is an instrumental jazz fusion tune by Chick Corea with Return To Forever. It was released in 1973 on the album Light As A Feather. The piece runs about 4 minutes and 57 seconds and features the early Return To Forever lineup with Corea leading intricate, high-energy melodies over a tight rhythm section. The title suggests a heroic, comic-book mood, giving the track a soaring, adventurous feel typical of Corea’s fusion style. Genre wise, it sits in jazz fusion with Latin-tinged textures and reflects the early 1970s exploration of electric jazz.
