Weather Report – Heavy Weather (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Jaco Pastorius had already rewritten the rulebook for electric bass before *Heavy Weather* dropped in 1977, but "Birdland" turned that conversation into a pop-radio reality without sacrificing an ounce of sophistication. Wayne Shorter's soprano saxophone work throughout the album carries the same compositional weight he'd been refining since his Blue Note years, reminding anyone paying attention that this was still, at its core, a musician's record.
Weather Report's biggest-selling album is that ideal thing, a popular and artistic success and for the same reasons. Released just as the jazz-rock movement began to run out of steam, this landmark album proved that there was plenty of creative life left in the idiom. This powerhouse supergroup, comprised of Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Alex Acuna and Manolo Badrena, delivered their only certified-Platinum release with this killer cut. This vinyl release is 180 gram.
