Weather Report Live in Berlin 1975 (LP Vinyl)

By 1975, Weather Report had fully shed any remaining acoustic jazz tendencies and was operating at the peak of its electric powers, with Alphonse Mouzon’s replacement Ndugu Chancler driving the rhythm section alongside Alyrio Lima. The Berliner Jazztage captured the band mid-stride between the “Mysterious Traveller” and “Tale Spinnin'” eras, a moment when Zawinul and Shorter were rewriting what a jazz ensemble could sound like in a live setting.

Weather Report was one of the super-bands in the 70s and beginning of the 80s. The 40th anniversary of the founding of the band, which was started by the legendary keyboarder Joe Zawinul and the saxophonist Wayne Shorter, occurs now in a fine remastered vinyl. The concert the band gave at the Berliner Jazztage in 1975 can be heard for the first time on: The band gave a fantastic performance including Mysterious Traveller, Scarlet Woman And Badia/Boogie Woogie Waltz from among the earlier weather report hits.
