umbertino Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 From "Weather Report" 1982 (10th album) RIP Jaco Pastorius - bass Great Peter Erskine on drums https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Report Had the pleasure of seeing band in concert in 1985 ( bassist then was Alphonso Johnson)...In 1986 I got to see phenomenal bassist Jaco Pastorius ( who then got killed just a year later).... Some time afterwards I saw Zawinul again ....solo (only Joe w all his keyboards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Composed by Austrian-born Joe Zawinul ( to me a music genius for all the beautiful tracks he authored...Also a great keyboardist) There's a solo voice rendition of this one by the Manhattan Transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 This one is a WR classic 1974...To me a flabbergasting track ( which infact made me fall madly in love with the band)..... "Nubian Sundance" track lineup: Josef Zawinul: Vocal, pianos, synthesizer, percussion Ishmael Wilburn & Skip Hadden: Drums Dom Um Romão & Muruga: Percussion Wayne Shorter: Tenor and soprano saxophone Alphonso Johnson: Bass Edna Write, Marti McCall, Jessica Smith, James Gilstrap, Billie Barnum: Vocalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Beautiful (once again at loss with adjectives whenever I like something a whole lot....Will you excuse me)...But I'm notoriously biased....
