Weather Report was one of the most influential jazz-fusion groups of their era
and outlasted many of its contemporaries such as Herbie Hancock's
Headhunters and The Mahavishnu Orchestra
Despite many personnel changes over its 16-year lifespan, they continued to create
groundbreaking music under the guidance of Joe Zawinul. 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, "Non- Stop Home", foreshadowed the band's developing hallmark
sound.Sweetnighter is available on black vinyl.
Tracks: Boogie Woogie Waltz / Manolete / Adios / 125th Street Congress / Will / Non
