Free Music Review: About 20 Years Overdue
Hit: 5 Stars
Brian Glasser's book on Joe Zawinul (excellent, buy it), is the perfect reading companion for this amazing but wrongly named CD (it's no longer "Unreleased"). Three incarnations of the group exist here in seven concerts, featuring for the first time live recordings with Alphonso Johnson and Victor Bailey. The recordings with Jaco also set straight some of the major shortcomings of 8:30, namely, "Teentown." We can hear Jaco blazing through the melody without Zawinul's intrusive doubling of the bassline -- far superior to the heavily edited piece on 8:30. It's also great to hear a live version of "River People," from the vastly underrated Mister Gone CD, and Jaco's brilliant explorations during his solo "Portrait of Tracy." There's more fun on "Elegant People" and "Black Market," featuring the bubbling humor and competitive interplay between Alex Acuna and Manolo Badrena (a short-lived but brilliant percussion section). It's also great to hear Jaco play on "Waterfalls" and "Directions." While Victor Bailey was at least one size too small to fill Jaco's enormous boots, it is nice to hear him represented on the four tunes from his period in the group. The earlier material with Alphonso Johnson shows the group with a more funk-based rhythm section, and with Zawinul relying more heavily on that funky wah-pedal electric piano. These songs also provided Wayne Shorter with far more room to stretch. For die-hards, this could have been a several-CD set, organized chronologically. Instead, the chronology is inexplicably mixed up, which is a little jarring to the ear. The bootlegs currently in circulation not only reveal the editing (particularly on 8:30), but the occasional minor mistakes in live performance that have kept songs like "Mister Gone," "Young and Fine," and "Pursuit of the Woman" off this release. The songs on this collection are flawlessly performed, excellently recorded and go at least some distance toward filling in the major gaps in chronicling Weather Report. Hey Joe, you're sitting on 255 reels. I'm still waiting for the box-set.
