Weather Report Sweetnighter

Description

Limited Edition Numbered Red/Black Marbled LP

In 1970 the American jazz fusion band Weather Report was founded by keyboard player Joe Zawinul, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and bassist Miroslav Vitous. They started as a free improvising jazz group with avant-garde and experimental electronic leanings. Due to Zawinul’s obsession with groove, the band steered towards a funky, edgy sound and incorporated R&B elements. ‘Sweetnighter’ was the first album on which this new direction was audible. It was their third studio album which was originally released in 1973. The last song on the album, “NonStop Home”, foreshadowed the band’s developing hallmark sound. Tracklist: Side A: 1. Boogie Woogie Waltz 2. Manolete 3. Adios Side B: 1. 125th Street Congress 2. Will 3. Non-Stop Home
