Weather Report: Black Market | A band in transition #jazzfusion #shorts

In our latest Daily Disc, we look at Weather Report’s 1976 release Black Market. We hear a band in transition, with Alphonso Johnson on bass, but also passing the …baton to Jaco Pastorius, and Narada Michael Michael Walden and Chester Thompson alternative tracks on drums. But stepping, we have a great album with beautiful lush sounds and great writing.

Some of the synth highlights include Joe Zawinul and two ARP 2600s plus an Oberheim polyphonic synth, and Wayne Shorter on a Computone Lyricon electronic wind instrument.Show More
