 One of the most brilliant players and thinkers we had.

Left us plenty to be grateful and thankful for.

 I have been reminiscing with an old friend about the times we saw Weather Report together; several times at the Jazz Workshop in Boston and at Tanglewood in western MA. The Jazz Workshop was a very intimate space with the tables right up against the small stage. No sound system amplification was really necessary as the performers were only a few feet away.

Driving from NH after school, we always arrived early, got a few whiskey nips from the liquor store next door to pour into our beer, and sat at a tiny table in the front row 3' in front of Zawinul's electric piano. Shorter's saxophone was only 5' away. This was 1970 to 1972 so we were able to hear the music off of their first two albums. It was magical music for the ages and left a lasting impression in our eager young ears.

 Didn't see them live until 1979 and then several times until
(including) Weather Update (alas no Shorter...).

WR have been a huge favorite my whole life.

The best aspect of them live was always the Wayne and Joe duet.

Pure magic. Such gifts.

Been reading and savoring this:




It's very fun, engaging, informative and... alive.
