Free Music Review: Something Old, Something Good
Hit: 5 Stars
I have got to say hands down this cd is worth having in your collectiom. If you love the early 70's fusion jazz period then you will find this live recording a must have. Weather Report along with other fusion artists such as Return to Forever or Mahavishnu Orchestra in my oppion never got to see the light of day on the radio. Fusion Jazz like Progressive Rock seem to get the short end of the stick. Maybe it was because some songs were more than a three minute didie.
I was turned on to the Weather Report by a co worker on one of my first jobs and have always liked them no matter what period they were in. If you are a Whyne Shorter or Jaco Pastorious fan then this freelance live outing is something to look into...
It also has outstanding keybord work by Joe Zawinul (now deceased). The percussions and drums by Erich Zawinul & Peter Erskine are fanstastic.
This album was released in 1979. It was produced by Joe Zawinul Futher adding to his talents as not only a musician.
Highlights: Versions of "Black Market" clocking in at 9:47, "Brown Street", and the bands signature piece "Birdland".
I hope this review entices you to invest some hard earned bucks on a truly suberb fussion jazz classic... my rateing *****

8:30 Poster
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2007.These live recordings offer an honest, well-rounded perspective of the Weather Report experience, and Joe Zawinul's relative prominence as their coleader and composer, circa 1979. On an arrangement such as "Brown Street," it's clear that Zawinul's vision of electronics was based in great part on his Austrian folk roots and in the varied native musics of South America, Africa, and the greater global village. This edition of Weather Report, featuring former big band drummer Peter Erskine and fretless bass innovator Jaco Pastorius, offered Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter a stable environment in which to fashion a group sound, although by this time, as witnessed by his solo turn on "Slang" and his prominence on every chart, Pastorius had attained cult status based in equal parts on his impeccable musicianship and his sometimes over-the-top flamboyance. Yet for all their forays into funk and the Third World, Weather Report remained at its core the most jazz oriented of all fusion bands. 8:30 is notable for the dancing, syncopated lines of Shorter's composition "Sightseeing," in which the composer lets it all hang out in a virtuoso turn on tenor saxophone that proves that the rumors of his creative demise were grossly exaggerated. --Chip Stern
