Hit: 5 Stars
There is not a cloud in the sky on this wonderful summer afternoon.
Joe Zawinul revisits the brilliance of Weather Report through an amazing concert that features the 15-piece WDR Big Band and an array of friends. The two-disc set was recorded in October 2005 at Zawinul's Birdland Club in Vienna, Austria, and features drummer Nathaniel Townsley, bassist Victor Bailey and percussionist Alex Acuna.
Adapted and orchestrated for a big band by Vince Mendoza, soloists like Karolina Strassmayer (alto sax on Black Market, March of the Lost Children, Procession), Paul Heller (tenor sax on Fast City) and Olivier Peters (soprano sax on Badia and Boogie Woogie Waltz) deliver outstanding performances that acknowledge the brilliant past, but illuminate the present as a means to set sail into the future.
The weather has never felt so good and Zawinul powerfully proclaims that Mr. Gone has been here all along.
Brown Street Poster
Recorded in Vienna, the city of Joe Zawinul's birth, this 2005 concert adapts many of his most celebrated compositions for the expanded presence of the WDR Big Band. After the triumphant opening of the propulsive eleven-minute title track, the gentle "In a Silent Way" revisits the evocative memories of Zawinul's childhood that inspired him to write the piece over forty years ago. While this hour and a half of music draws from Zawinul's past, it is never dependent upon nostalgia. Rather, the bold new settings show how vibrant the writing remains. Zawinul's core quartet (with percussionist Alex Acuna, bassist Victor Bailey, and drummer Nathaniel Townsley) can be as ferocious and supple as any of Weather Report's line-ups. Everything from the atmospheric quietude of a piece like "A Remark You Made" to the world funk of "Black Market" is given its full due by this sprawling yet controlled 19-piece ensemble. --David GreenbergerJazz Music CDs
