RIP soprano sax playing, composer, Miles Davis Quintet member, Blue Note Records and solo release classics, legend, Wayne Shorter. Black Market is one of my fav Weather Report albums. His creative musical output was extraordinary.
Kevin Grey if your looking at these posts, is Wayne Shorter's NIght Dreamer on the reissue Tone Poet schedule? There are so many but I would be curious to hear what you can do with Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior. Ok, add in Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller, Black Market, Weather Report, Mr. Gone.
I was a teenager when I discovered Weather Report with Wayne Shorter....I had to go back and dig up Wayne's catalog of music.....it has been a long fun road of discovery!!!
Jaco was the kind of guy who didn't care what anybody, much less fellow bass players, thought of him, and everyone thought he was the coolest because of it. Broke all the molds! Sad ending. RIP.
Ah, I met him once! He was playing at Pasquali's on the beach in Southern California eons ago. Clare Fischer (RIP) was presenting with my then crush, sorta friend, Professor Roland Vasquez, drummer. I went to the patio out back for the break and Alex joined me out there along with the bassist, Jorge. Anyway, Alex was very a sweet spirit, but I had little idea at the time how world-class he was/is. He played all the percussion that evening. Anyway, that's that.
@@jimmyjam86 I could say that meeting beautiful, people, excellent, is a gift. But without those the beautiful meet with, they can't be understood and seen as beautiful. :). I hope that makes sense.
for you younger keyboard players -- notice when Zawinul plays the melody on the ARP 2600 that the keyboard scale is reversed. As he goes up, the notes go lower, as he goes down the notes go higher. Zawinul actually wrote the melody for Black Market with the ARP tuned this way. Inspiration can come from anywhere, always try crazy shit, don't be shy! (from a 40 year pro keyboard player)
Saw them in 78'- Jaco leaped in from somewhere out of the dark like a spaceman and started his solo. Wayne played with a minimum of body movement and Zawinul looked like a pirate. There has never been a band like this again.
Check out Avishai Cohen Trio if you despair about music like this not existing anymore. They dont really sound anything alike but its at a similar level of skill, creativity and passion.
To those longing for this type of fusion, check out keyboardist Scott Kinsey’s projects. He’s heavily influenced by Zawinul and WR (might even have been an actual student of his). He has also done a ton of WR tribute projects.
No one could compete with them in their own space. Weather report was one of a kind. RIP departed Weather report members with deep respect and good wishes for those still living.
Just, just epic! Somehow, the 70s seemed to spawn a generation of musicians who were willing to play music like it was their last day on Earth And boy, these guys are rockin' it ta **ck!!
This was the best Weather Report lineup. They really took off when Acuna moved from percussion to drums, and added Badrena on percussion. It's a shame that this lineup only lasted about a year.
@@pascalduhamel6358 peter erskine is fantastic and I'm really glad he continued to play with Jaco after weather report, but Acuna/Jaco/Badrena is something special.
this was such a brilliant time for gifted musicians and fusion jazz..there was a plethora of creativity in the early - mid 70's between Return to Forever , Jean-Luc Ponty, Billy Cobham , Pat Metheny , Al di Meola..lot of them ended working in the studio together as well...glad I was alive and able to see them perform in their prime -- another great chapter in musical history sorely missed..
You have nailed this comment, jazz fusion and the experimentation probably not seen today but these musos laid down the foundations. And don't ever forget School Days (Stanley Clarke fretless Bass with Piano playing George Duke) and Booker T and The MGs, sessions muso who could time and phrase just about everything.
I was at this gig! My college band played just a few nights before with Clark Terry. Incredible music, amazing music and musicians, wonderful memories.
I may be wrong but about the best 3 to 5 minutes of music are of Wayne Shorter at the end of Joni Mitchell’s song Paprika Plains on Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter. It’s a long song not one of my favorites but those last few minutes are fantastic.
Alex Acuna! I could listen to him groove for days. Such a killer performance! I love his inspiring story of coming to the U.S. and how his career progressed from this great stepping stone. Such a nice guy, so colorful and fun.
What a snare sound. No reverb, just good mic's a room and 2 inch tape. And a musician, like Stewart Copeland, you can tell Alex when he plays kit from his snare sound.
@drumsNstuff79 I Love Alex too, but NOT seeing only his face for almost 1/2 a video while the rest of the band Jams!! @InnerVista I agree with the very Identifiable sound... Bill Bruford and Billy Cobham on that short list as well!
Joe Zawinul: Keyboards Wayne Shorter: Sax Jaco Pastorius: Bass Alex Acuna: Drums Manolo Badrena: Percussion, Voice MalcoMix Fusion put the whole concert with the names of the players and the playlist with links, while "Montreux Jazz Festival" are not even able to mention the wonderful artists who played for them ... what a pity ... Here is the full concert, remastered : ruclips.net/video/LfvfXA2SIRU/видео.html
During Wayne Shorter's first studio session with Miles Davis.......Miles studiously thumbed through a notebook Shorter had brought; which he explained was music he had written while serving in the U.S. Army. At the end of the session, Miles told Shorter to return tomorrow....and....."Bring that notebook!".
Montreux, the place to be and see...I was blessed my Dad was a VP with Pan Am , so my older sis and I traveled the world following one great concert than the other...✈🎶🌿
Glen Bledsoe Saw this tour in Hartford, Bushnell Memorial Theater, April or May 1976. Phenomenal. My second time seeing them, the first was on the tour for the Mysterious Traveller lp, fall 1974, at the same venue, with the extraordinary Alphonso Johnson on fretless & piccolo basses. Shakti featuring John McLaughlin opened this 1976 show, also amazing (I love Indian instrumental music, too. And I would go anywhere to see Johnny Mac, electric or acoustic). All my ticket stubs are currently in a storage bin, but I doubt that it cost more than $7.50 for the best seats in the house. I was in one of them, somewhere in the first ten rows, center floor. And, this was my first time witnessing the genius of (drum roll, please, Alex) Mr. Jaco Pastorius. After this concert, I made SURE it wouldn't be the last time I saw him. His playing on the title track, and "Barbary Coast", really impressed me. One of the most purely musical concerts I've ever been to. Imagine, in the same night: McLaughlin, L. Shankar, Zakir Hussain, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, and Jaco. He was one of those people who only needed one name! As I like to say, "They just don't make 'em like this anymore...". Ps, I'll never forget hearing the homage to Joe's deceased former bandleader, that was one of the new tunes: "Cannonball". They panned the train sound across the P.A. speakers in stereo to open & close the track (pun intended), just like the album. And it was freaking LOUD! Long live WR!!
I was introduced to the music of Weather Report in 1986 while stationed in Germany, and I was never the same again. It opened up a whole other world for me musically. VonDexter Montegut, thank you brother for broadening my horizons. I would say rest in peace, but I have no doubt you're up there jammin' with Joe Z. and Jaco P. as i type this... the jam session of your dreams.
So epic. Breathtaking music. Birdland was their "iconic" track, but Black Market has always been my favourite - it's the work of geniuses. I cannot believe these guys existed on the same planet that produces the pop garbage we all hear on the radio these days.
I've always put "Cucumber Slumber" from "Mysterious Traveler" high on the list, but the signature tune for Joe and Wayne will always be "Boogie Woogie Waltz."
Being bitter about other music serves no purpose, if it brings others joy (just as this beautiful piece brings joy to us) then that is nothing but okay.
@@marcusberankis8960 Err...OK thanks Karen. You're making the false assumption that music that other people like has no effect on me. Like it can only be something neutral to my senses and joyous to them. This is false. If I am forced to listen to cheap, repetitive, simplistic, talentless, recycled pop garbage it absolutely impacts me in a negative way. No matter how hard I might try to enjoy plastic pop, it simply upsets me and is likely to ruin my mood. Fact. And, I'm quite sure, the people that like that sort of music would not hesitate to voice their dislike of a track by Tool, Grizzly Bear, Sparta, Miles Davis, At the Drive-in or Waax. All of which represent intelligent, talented, progressive music. Don't shoot me down just because I appreciate more complex music.
@@the510wagon if hearing other music ruins your mood, I believe that’s more of a reflection on you than the complexity or musicianship of the music you are forced to listen to. Stop being so pretentious and just learn to like the stuff you like, and not worry about others. Sincerely, Karen
I spent a lot of time with the band this year - 1976 - and recorded them the following year. The band chose a path that would bring them tremendous success, with groundbreaking new music even breaking thru to the radio. Jaco brought a brand new sensibility to Weather Report, though Joe really struggled to accept his starring role. Truth is, and Joe knew it, Weather Report rocketed musically after 1976. It was a tumultuous time, even toxic backstage, but audiences were blissfully unaware.
Let's say the same about Paul Simon's last line-up... from Graceland, and from Rythm of the Saints... anything different? THIS IS MUSIC. NOT PREJUDICE.
When great musicians sweat like pigs for us in their performances like Weather Report did at this Concert all I can say is... Thanks Guys You are AWESOME! 👍👍💪✌️💘😎🍻
World class, astounding artistry! I had met Alex Acuna when they played at Pasquali's on the west coast, many many eons ago with Clare Fischer... Hi Alex!😄 We chatted on the patio. You joined out there along with Jorge? Do you recall? No one I've Ever heard makes music like this incredibly, ingenuous, ingenius band of prodigies. Alex, you're one among the Very best drummers/instrumentalists and musicians in the world. You play what I want to hear with all intuition and this music from Weather Report takes me to another level. Thank you!
The thing I like best about this line up is that even though Alex Acuna is behind the kit it's really two percussionist extraordinaire laying down the infectious grooves...Badrena and Acuna have a serious mental telepathy thing going on. As does the whole band. Serious stuff. ✌
I had the great good fortune to see this extraordinary band at the beautiful Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara in 1977. A magnificent experience I will treasure for my entire life.
We all thought back then that this was the highest quality we humans had achieved!! Weather Reaport was the promise land for us young musicians in Miami . We were young and passionate!!!!!!!
Very cool! I saw Weather Report & Billy Cobham on a double bill at the Celebrity Theater (rotating stage) in Phoenix in 1975. What a show it was!! I saw Billy Cobham again in '79 in Tucson. 👍🍻
In the 70's I saw this band at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This for me was the beginning of expanding my musical tastes and what a journey it has been. I love Weather Report and Return to Forever.
Weather Report is one of the very few concerts I missed during the '70's. Not from lack of trying. I was attending live concerts every other weekend. Thankfully, RUclips seems to have a lot of their live performances uploaded just for unlucky guys like me. Just wish they'd allowed people to videotape the acts back then. Today's generation's gonna miss out on a lot of different perspectives and techniques. If only record companies didn't have that stupid rule about "no cameras or videos allowed". Who knows how many great solo performances were missed because of it?!
The lead synth that Zawinul is playing seems to be wired in such a way that the high notes are on the bottom and the low notes on the top. Watch as he plays the melody at around 03:00. It's crazy!
i started listening to weather report, mahavishnu, return to forever, etc. back in 1971, when i was an air force member, stationed at a god forsaken outpost (malmstrom afb) in montana, being from texas the shock of the freezing weather, but i found these albums at the base store, man they got me thru the lone nites, i'd fall asleep to them. got bless their talent. what has happen to the music of today?
Dude I was in the Army a at a sh*t stain called Camp Casey Korea, with my PX brought Pioneer system, Weather Report and Spyro Gyra...I still have the Albums.
One of the finest soprano sax tones I’ve ever heard! Didier malherbe of Gong is still my favorite on that particular instrument. Even if they took a lot of inspiration from weather report during gongs “shamal” era, their earlier space rock fusion holds a special place in my heart.
Alan Haynes you don’t say!! His sound has always been one of those things that’s just in your head for the rest of your life for me. It’s very lovely to know the actual instrument that plays in my head very frequently.
Great video , to my eternal regret I missed seeing them when they played Portsmouth UK in 1982, I had moved down the coast to Plymouth UK two weeks earlier and was unable to attend.
I watched this performance on television one evening in 2008 not knowing who they were until the end credits. Soon I went to a jazz record store and purchased a lot of their albums. Soon after
Peace, God Bless Geneva , the Swiss, I remember Heavy Weather, when my son was born, Birdland was so up , pure and natural. Followed Miles, and all successions and different formations , Black Market is cool , super cool groove. Imagine breathing the Swiss Alps air!!!!
I thought maybe the footage was reversed, except Joe’s hands looked normal on the Rhodes! That is just the weirdest thing! And, like other’s comments, can we not have so much of the “proctologist’s “ view? Close-ups are awesome, except for when there are only close-ups!!
Incredible. I've never seen less of Jaco in any Weather Report video ever. His face didn't show up for the first half of this film! That's unusual. It was as if whoever filmed this purposely said, "okay, everyone focuses on Jaco, let's spotlight the other guys for a change!" LOL.
NOTICE THE UPPER KEYBOARD: Higher notes on the left!
Yeah that's just crazy, enough going on the right way round. Seriously skilled
He inverted the keyboard on the ARP2600. V clever, made him play riff differently. Genius

Rest in peace Wayne you were truly one of the greats.
I guess "stoic" is a good adjective, the guy is like a statue, and can actually shred a solo
Jaco playing a fretted bass with a pick ! Strumming cords with a pick ! Always serving the song genius !
man, wasn't he the best!
He traveled a prodigy's path, though. Didn't he. Ya. Genius.
Jaco was the kind of guy who didn't care what anybody, much less fellow bass players, thought of him, and everyone thought he was the coolest because of it. Broke all the molds! Sad ending. RIP.
Alphonso Johnson did it better on the album.
@@ednicolettasnyder6219Shut your face, Alphonse Mouson can take a hike like Alex Acuna, there's a better player, Peter Erskine
Alex Acuna is a wonderful human being and one of the best drummers ever. I would love to meet him in person.
I guess you intuit this since you haven’t met, but you are absolutely correct. A very nice and humble guy, & a pleasure to work with.

that would mess me completely up. it's really clear around 3:00...
I've watched this concert dozens of times and never noticed that! Thanks
That melody is so odd and atypical it makes sense that it was inspired by something weird like that.
incredible!
Saw them in 78'- Jaco leaped in from somewhere out of the dark like a spaceman and started his solo.
Wayne played with a minimum of body movement and Zawinul looked like a pirate. There has never been a band like this again.
There will never be a band like this. Humans have forgotten to make sound like this.
They were incredible. I don't think this kind of innovation and musicianship exists anymore, sadly.

The 60s,70s,and 80s were amazing for rock,jazz soul and fusion. Even new music by some of these old musicians just doesn’t sound as good!

I always love Alex on the kit with WT stuff. !

hes dynamite
He's a monster.
@@kennylyon1934 Tough, Tough, Tough drummer!!
i didn't know the "miles davis angle" but its really nice and a legacy.
Miles was a musical phenomenon that just kept on giving.So many great musicians cut their teeth with him.
This is great...the percussion and drums kill it!
Weather Report is one of the very few concerts I missed during the '70's. Not from lack of trying. I was attending live concerts every other weekend. Thankfully, RUclips seems to have a lot of their live performances uploaded just for unlucky guys like me. Just wish they'd allowed people to videotape the acts back then. Today's generation's gonna miss out on a lot of different perspectives and techniques. If only record companies didn't have that stupid rule about "no cameras or videos allowed". Who knows how many great solo performances were missed because of it?!
The lead synth that Zawinul is playing seems to be wired in such a way that the high notes are on the bottom and the low notes on the top. Watch as he plays the melody at around 03:00. It's crazy!
Yes it’s an ARP2600 with the voltage inverter module patched in
My favorite line-up of this ensemble. A buddy of mine had a hard time taking lessons Alex Acuna because of the language barrier.
So good...this is the real stuff.
I loved every note and like others was shocked when it ended. Nothing like this ever again.
Weather Report una de las mas grandes bandas de jazz rock y Black Market mi albun favorito,gracias por el video,saludos
Music is ageless!
ya no se hace nada como esto. Gracias a la Vida pude escuchar estas maravillas
I had the privilege of seeing Alex Acuna play at the baked potato in Hollywood Live one time still to this day the best drummer I've ever seen
That bass in the background man. What a wonderful jam session
The bands most legendary performance no doubt. Such an infectious groove.
Birdland is also very good. One of a kind band.
Tremendo baterista Alex Acuña!
El Inca!
R..I.P. Wayne Shorter ...!!!!!
This music is so great thanks for sharing 🎉🎊👍👏💯
i started listening to weather report, mahavishnu, return to forever, etc. back in 1971, when i was an air force member, stationed at a god forsaken outpost (malmstrom afb) in montana, being from texas the shock of the freezing weather, but i found these albums at the base store, man they got me thru the lone nites, i'd fall asleep to them. got bless their talent. what has happen to the music of today?
Dude I was in the Army a at a sh*t stain called Camp Casey Korea, with my PX brought Pioneer system, Weather Report and Spyro Gyra...I still have the Albums.
It’s still here, check out Snarky Puppy, Scary Pockets or Earth Radio crazy jazz fusion still exists
Merchandising, streamlining, short pleasures, quick money. You name it what else? It all got off with Bitches brew
How good does that Rhodes sound with phaser?!! Especially, when he really digs in on those staccato chords. It sounds like a wah pedal.
2:01 The MUTRON BIPHASE by Musitronics. To his left.
@Luka Meah LOL!
@Luka Meah I figured that.
ENORME 🤩
One of the finest soprano sax tones I’ve ever heard! Didier malherbe of Gong is still my favorite on that particular instrument. Even if they took a lot of inspiration from weather report during gongs “shamal” era, their earlier space rock fusion holds a special place in my heart.
Alan Haynes awesome! I play guitar not sax so all that info is new to me, which is awesome!!! It really is an amazing sound that I love.
Alan Haynes you don’t say!! His sound has always been one of those things that’s just in your head for the rest of your life for me. It’s very lovely to know the actual instrument that plays in my head very frequently.
Chi.non ama la.musica non potrà mai capire grande.Pastorius rimmarai sempre.nel mio.cuore
Great video , to my eternal regret I missed seeing them when they played Portsmouth UK in 1982, I had moved down the coast to Plymouth UK two weeks earlier and was unable to attend.
I watched this performance on television one evening in 2008 not knowing who they were until the end credits. Soon I went to a jazz record store and purchased a lot of their albums.
Soon after
Peace, God Bless Geneva , the Swiss, I remember Heavy Weather, when my son was born, Birdland was so up , pure and natural. Followed Miles, and all successions and different formations , Black Market is cool , super cool groove. Imagine breathing the Swiss Alps air!!!!
talk about on another level! this is an incredible live performance, with every band member just killing it. so beautiful
Tecnica ritmica fiati tutto di altissimo livello i migliori degli anni 70 80
This is why I love this music from the 1st time I heard it. Gospel for me like it was for church going Christian. Meditation music music wellness
As always, thank you Araki
I always remember listening to LP recordings of this music & found it so exceptional. No chance of getting any closer to it live, though
What a dumbass comment.
Thanks for posting these giants of then radical new music that still inspires!
absolutely fantastic, superb, amazingly mesmerizing and flawless musicianship - brilliant, many thanks
Music from Heaven! What amazing musicians ALL!
Yes this was made in heaven
Thanks for all these guys for making great music
Tengo 63 años de edad y me siento muy feliz de escuchar esta música magistral. Gracias maestros.
One of the best song ever. Reverse keyboard for Zawinul!?! Young Jaco at 25. Wayne Shorter as good as ever. Acuna playing ambidextrous drums...
Yeah Reverse scale kbd
Jaco playing the bass like an electric guitar!
I thought maybe the footage was reversed, except Joe’s hands looked normal on the Rhodes! That is just the weirdest thing! And, like other’s comments, can we not have so much of the “proctologist’s “ view? Close-ups are awesome, except for when there are only close-ups!!
@@Scorchinscotty lol. I was scratchn my head on that one. The camera work was brutal, thought mirror image or something that didn't make sense either.
Pretty sure that was Alphonso Johnson on bass.
Stunning performance...¡¡¡ YEAH...
That was so beautiful!
My favorite weather report tune.. and album.
Incredible. I've never seen less of Jaco in any Weather Report video ever. His face didn't show up for the first half of this film! That's unusual. It was as if whoever filmed this purposely said, "okay, everyone focuses on Jaco, let's spotlight the other guys for a change!" LOL.
