Weather Report - 1977 - Heavy Weather (Expanded Edition)
Weather Report - 1977 - Heavy Weather (Expanded Edition) @320
Heavy Weather is the seventh album by Weather Report, released in 1977 through Columbia Records. The release sold about 500,000 copies; it would prove to be the band's most commercially successful album and one of the best sellers in the Columbia jazz catalog. DownBeat magazine gave Heavy Weather a 5-star review, and later its readers voted it jazz album of the year.
The lineup for the album consisted of Weather Report founders Joe Zawinul (keyboards, synthesizers) and Wayne Shorter (saxophone), alongside Jaco Pastorius (bass), Alex Acuña (drums), and Manolo Badrena (percussion). It was produced and orchestrated by Zawinul, with additional production by Shorter and Pastorius, and engineered by Ron Malo.
The album opens with "Birdland", which on its own became a significant commercial success, unusual for an instrumental composition, and would go on to become a jazz standard. The melody had been performed live by the band as part of "Dr Honoris Causa", which was from Joe Zawinul's eponymous solo album. "Teen Town", a Pastorius composition where his bass takes the lead instrument role, is often considered a highlight of the album and of Pastorius's career. "Rumba Mamá", a percussion and vocals feature for Manolo Badrena and Alex Acuña, was recorded live at a summer 1976 concert in Montreux, Switzerland, which was also the subject of a DVD released in 2007.
Dan Oppenheimer said in a June 1977 review for Rolling Stone that he felt the band had moved away from their earlier music, losing a lot of the space, melodies and airy feel that set them apart from other jazz-rock bands, but gaining a new bassist who "has been instrumental in developing their busier, talkative style", and that while their music previously "went up and up only, becoming more ethereal as it went, the new bottom makes all the difference in the world".
This is simply one of the best jazz albums ever. The line up collaboration is perfect.Joe Zawinul on keys, Wayne Shorter on sax, Alex Acuna drums, Manolo Badrena percussion and Jaco Pastorius whose brilliance on a fretless bass in the '70s is again captured timelessly. Each track has a journey of its own with these guys. Birdland (a jazz standard) and TeenTown are classics. The latter featuring a blistering fretless bass line as the lead instrument. The whole album is absolutely outstandingly executed and timeless. Unbeatable driving music. (Jazz Rock Fusion Guitar)

Various - Box Of Vibes No. 24 (R-A-C) (2026) 320
* Box Of Vibes day!! today we share Box 24, wow already at 24, I am thinking about a name change once we hit Box 50 or 100, we will see, but these are going to continue, luckily we made a lot at the start!! *
* Well my turn to open the box 24, this week with my tunes 1 to 8, then comes the 8 tracks from Andy from 9 to 16 and Concha closes the box with her tunes 17 to 24, *
* If you don't know these home made compilations, they share tunes from many genres and decades of music. alternative and cover versions, and tune maybe new to you or bands/artists new to you. Maybe tunes you have forgotten and not heard for a long time. *
* We hope you like them, feed back is always good for us, positive or negative, but every edition so far has been downloaded at least 30 times, so I guess many of you like them, which is great for us. They were fun for us to compile, and is interesting to see the mix the three of us share!! So thanks to Andy and Concha for taking part in this series. *
