• Track Listing

Three Miles Davis alumni—Joe Sawinul, Wayne Shorter and Airto Moreira—formed this hugely successful jazz-rock band in ’71. This five-album collection takes you all across their prime years: Weather Report (their 1971 debut), Tale Spinnin’ (’75), Heavy Weather (’77), Mr. Gone (’78) and the 1982 album that, like their first LP, was self-titled. All five hit the pop charts, and the last three feature the just-plain ridiculous bass skills of Jaco Pastorius, who helped the band push every boundary they could find. Includes Eurydice; Orange Lady; Tears; Waterfall; Badia; Man in the Green Shirt; Freezing Fire; Birdland; Teen Town; The Juggler; Harlequin; The Elders; Pinocchio; Current Affairs; Dara Factor One; Dara Factor Two; Speechless, and more hugely influential Weather Report recordings!
