WEATHER REPORT
Heavy Weather (2023 reissue)
music on vinyl
Weather report’s seventh album 'Heavy Weather was released in 1977' - It is the band’s most successful album and the second album with bassist Jaco Pastorius.
The opening track “Birdland” was a significant commercial success, something not typical of instrumental music. A striking feature of “Birdland” is Pastorius picking harmonics on his fretless bass. Released just as the jazz-rock or fusion movement began to run out of steam, this landmark album proved that there was plenty of creative life left in the idiom.
