 Still raining supreme

4 1/2
Even being as notoriously innovative and influential as they have, HW stands, nearly universally, as Weather Report's most impressively concise work. This '77 mid-career triumph shows the group at a level and consistency of jazz-rock synergy which has yet to be rivaled 30+ years after the fact. |

 My Favorite Album of All Time
Submitted on: 2009-04-02 |

I was already a Weather Report fan when this album was originally released in 1977. After hearing it for the first time, I immediately called it the best album I've ever heard.
I don't speak in terms of "bests" anymore, but 32 years after its original release, it is still my favorite album of all time. An absolute masterpiece. |

The Fuse is Lit in Fusion

From reaching at #1 on the Billboard jazz album chart to hitting #30 on the pop album chart, this classic 1977 release quickly became a fusion masterpiece.
Birdland - a Joe Zawinul composition, along with the beautiful ballad, A Remark You Made and The Juggler - quickly became a signature number for WR and a cross-over sensation that will continue to bring listeners into electric jazz. Teen Town and Havona by Jaco Pastorius show his maturation as a composer, with Wayne Shorter nothing less than solid with his numbers, Harlequin and Palladium. Percussionists Alex Acuna and Manolo Badrena penned the snappy Rumba Mama, which is from a live performance at the 1976 Montreux Jazz Festival.
A tour-de-force of artistry, it turned a superstar jazz group into international pop stars who transcended the labels during the era that shoved music into pigeonholes. |

essential weather report

| I actually worked at a theatre as a stagehand when this album came out, and was being supported by their tour. I sat about 12 feet away from Jaco during the show. This collection is a must for any current or would be fan of Weather Report. |
