Weather Report - Weather Report (MOVLP2158) LP
The great jazz-fusion band Weather Report releases their self-titled debut album in 1971. Featuring Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter amongst others, the young musicians created an original and fluid record, which would define the state of the jazz rock by that time. Shorter's (1960s Miles Davis ensemble) soprano sax shines and reveals with full force the extraordinary rapport the members of the group established from the start. The music consists of subtle melody lines and is mostly an atmospheric adventurous journey. Influences from Miles Davis' In A Silent Way / Bitches Brew sessions can be heard throughout this record. Altogether they're performing this historical document.
