No Mystery (1975) is the fifth studio album by jazz-rock fusion band Return to Forever.
Production
All members of the group contributed compositions to this album. Side A contains heavily funk-influenced material composed by each member of the group, whereas Side B is filled by Chick Corea compositions. Chick Corea won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance, Individual or Group Grammy Award in 1975 for this album.[3] "Flight of the Newborn" is Di Meola's first recorded composition. Di Meola's solos are an early example of shredding.[citation needed]
Stanley Clarke would later re-record "Dayride" with background vocals for his solo album Modern Man released in 1978.
