	Biography - Weather Report (Bio 639) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Weather Report also anticipated and contributed to the North American interest in world music rhythms and structures, prodded by keyboardist/co-founder Joe Zawinul.
		The best-selling Heavy Weather album (1977) actually served up a hit song that became a jazz standard ("Birdland"), and with the entry of Peter Erskine on drums (1978), the group finally had a stable lineup for awhile.
		Contrary to accepted wisdom, the departures of Pastorius and Erskine in 1982 led to a recharging of WR's batteries; their replacements Victor Bailey (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), Jose Rossy and later, Mino Cinelu (percussion) were more amenable to Zawinul's deepening inclinations for Third World rhythms, sounds and textures.

	CD Baby: SPLURGE: Heavy Weather - from ripe
		This is their second album, although two of the band's members, Greg Arnold (singing, bass, guitars and keyboards) and Greg Williams (singing, rhythm guitar) did record an album as the Every Brothers between the first album (simply titled 'Splurge' in 1999) and this latest offering.
		With 'Heavy Weather' Splurge have produced an album full of such wonderfully melodic pop songs that it can only be a matter of time before they are much more well known.
		As the album progresses through songs like the acoustic driven 'Because You're Mine', it's obvious that this is a classy act who have produced an album which, like all great albums, has snatches of tunes which already seem familiar and vocals which the listener feels instantly comfortable with.

		Weather Report, as most readers already know, was a successful jazz fusion band that featured (most notably) Joe Zawinul and Jaco Pastorius - still considered to be masters of their craft.
		Heavy Weather is one of Weather Report's most highly acclaimed albums, and it features three of their most famous songs - these being "Birdland", "A Remark You Made", and "Teen Town."
		The album continues to impress, with the third track: "Teen Town." A Jaco composition, the song features Pastorius on bass and drums as he molds a jazzy groove that would help define him as a pioneer of the electric bass in years to come.

		Weather Report is one of the best fusion groups to come around and this was their best recording.
		Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" is the best album to come out of the jazz fusion genre of the mid 1970's (with the possible exception of Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters").
		"Heavy Weather" proved that a pop/dance album could be completely instrumental, full of improvised solos based on jazz idioms, and feature every member of the group interacting in a dynamic fashion.

		But about this time in Weather Report's career, 1980, co-leaders Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter were starting to exhaust their creativity within the colorful, funky, world-music styles that had characterized their previous album and the classic sound of the 70s.
		Weather Report had always been jazz in its approach and the mentality of the musicians, but this album was the first since "I Sing the Body Electric" in 1972 in which they were predominantly jazz in the stylistic sense.
		Otherwise the whole album is in fact recorded live, but in a studio; throughout the recording process of this album there was an audience of approximately 250 people to give the band a boost of adrenaline in their performance, and indeed - this way they seem to have gotten the power they were seeking for.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews
		This is the album that ushered in the coming of the greatest electric bassist of our time, Jaco Pastorius, and the only studio album to contain future Genesis member, Chester Thompson.
		It is also on this album that the band begun to make shorter songs, thereby losing its Miles Davis edge, but in saying that, it was a great thing as for this is where the band not only begun to sell records, but still manage to keep their long time fans.
		As with every album since Mysterious Traveler, Zawinul is beginning to dominate the songwriting department, contributing the first three songs of the album, and also dominating the groups overall sound with his multiple keyboarding.

	Weather Report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weather Report was a influential jazz fusion band of the 1970s and 1980s, pitting jazz with RandB, funk, and rock elements while still retaining an extremely high level of compositional and improvisational skills.
		Although the album is generally softer than in later years (acoustic bass and no synthesizers were used) it is still considered a classic of early fusion.
		Heavy Weather would dominate the disc award scene and coup the last Down Beat "Album of the Year" award for the group.

		The value of Heavy Weather is that its compositions, especially those of Joe Zawinul, still stand up as exciting music.
		The two Wayne Shorter contributions on Heavy Weather are a bit of a disappointment when one considers his compositional credits of the previous decade.
		Acuna, who plays traps on most of the album is a firebrand fusion drummer; in a genre in which the drumming eventually got boxy and mechanical, his was a decidedly human feel.

		For some reason I expected a lot from this album, and as someone said, it seems to be one of those albums that everyone says is good and essencial but isn't really.
		When I first listened to this album, I was already aware of how cheesy opening track 'Birdland' is, and the entire album does have a somewhat cheesy sound, due particularly to Zawinul's then revolutionary, now dated, synthesizers and Jaco's brilliant but dated sounding fretless bass technique.
		On Heavy Weather, Jaco showed pretty much everything he had, from the pyrotechnics of "Teen Town", through the lyricism of "Harlequin" and "The Juggler", and finally to Jaco's own tune "Havona".

		The other factor is the full emergence of Jaco Pastorius as a co-leader; his dancing, staccato bass lifting itself out of the bass range as a third melodic voice, completely dominating his own ingenious "Teen Town" (where he also plays drums!).

		eginning with an irresistible invitation to the dance (“Birdland”), Heavy Weather is a brilliant balancing act that shows off every facet of this remarkably talented band.
		Invariably, my favorite track on Heavy Weather is the track playing at the moment; even the live percussion solo “Rumba Mama” shines when the time comes.
		This is arguably their greatest album, and thus one of the great fusion albums of all time.

		First off, I have always considered the name “Weather Report” to be an excellent choice for a jazz-fusion group.
		Over the years, Weather Report has gone through a multitude of personnel changes that have also made this group live up to its name in that respect as well.
		Birdland is the obvious “hit” on the album, but songs like A Remark You Made with Shorter’s melancholy saxophone and Zawinul’s keyboard flourishes demonstrate the depth and emotional expressiveness this jazz group can muster up.

		This album is very good at showing the usage of modern keyboards/electrics in jazz as a whole, Joe Zawinul playing rhodes, arps and also acoustic creating sophisticated textures.
		On the other hand, Wayne shorters great sax talent was becoming more sidelined, and this last great album for weather report is less organic than past glories but is all the same essential for any fans of this kind of music.
		The compositions towards the end of the album are more intresting.

		Lebih mengejutkan lagi setelah mendengarkan album ini ternyata secara musikal mereka sangat bagus dan mengagumkan, terlebih lagi musisi-musisi yang terlibat dalam album ini adalah musisi-musisi yang relatif masih muda walaupun kecenderungan pengaruh musik free jazz Amerika terutama tampaknya pengaruh dari musisi-musisi free jazz Chicago yang tergabung dalam AACM sangat kuat.
		Para pemain juga masing-masing memainkan lebih dari satu instrumen dan sepertinya masing-masing memainkan perkusi juga (mengingatkan pada Art Ensemble of Chicago), dan improvisasi kolektif sepertinya menjadi landasan utama dari grup ini.
		Mungkin yang menarik bagi kita dalam album ini adalah lagu yang memakai judul berbahasa Indonesia yaitu Tidak Apa Apa, lagu ciptaan Adam Simmons ini bertempo pelan dengan permainan sopran dan tenor saxophone dengan latar belakang suara perkusi dan drums, memang sebuah komposisi yang cukup bagus.
