Weather Report

• 2-CD SET

4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Weather Report is one of the premier jazz fusion groups of the past 40 years. Formed by keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, they issued a host of critically acclaimed albums. Live in Tokyo is not intended for the casual listener. One best sits down and listens through the 2 CDs in one session, and preferably with the volume turned up. That way, one gets the best impression of what this high-energy band was working at.
