Woah! Weather Report- Forecast: Tomorrow !

[Street Worm]

weird, a whole year can go by without buying any new music & suddenly there's a whole bunch of stuff coming out-

but anyway..................

Perhaps my favorite band of all time
(definitely the greatest concerts I've ever seen)

I'll be picking this one up on Monday, for sure-



contains 3 CDs & 1 DVD-

track listings & stuff

After years of planning and many false starts, jazz/fusion supergroup Weather Report is finally honored with a box set consisting of three cds and one smoking live dvd of the band at its peak when bass extraordinare Jaco Pastorius joined. Although there are only three tracks "from the vaults" (a fuzzily recorded alternate take of "Nubian Sundance", an alternate version of the Miles Davis staple "Directions" and a remix of the funky "125th Street Congress"), this box set still serves as an excellent overview of an important band. Tracks from all Weather Report albums are represented here except for the weak 1986 album "THIS IS THIS" (good move). Grammy-worthy liner notes along with rare photos dominate the colorful 100-page booklet that comes with the set. Box set producers Bob Belden, Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter are to be commended for putting together one of the best box sets of the year.

I thought it was a book about the changing weather.
