In renegade bassist Jaco Pastorius, the band found a formidable composer and improvisor, who possessed deep roots in funk and R\u0026amp;B, yet was equally at home in modern jazz and Afro-Cuban settings. Not coincidentally, the presence of this innovative fretless bassist on Heavy Weather gave Weather Report the rhythmic\/melodic dimension it had been missing since Vitous's departure, as evidenced by his voice-like declamations on Zawinul's ballad \"A Remark You Made.\" On Zawinul's chart-topping, big band-styled arrangement of \"Birdland,\" Pastorius provided the kind of big, sweeping orchestral gestures the tune required, while on the shifting canvas of Wayne Shorter's \"Harlequin,\" the bassist's ability to articulate complex chords allowed him to function as a string section unto himself. And on his own \"Havona,\" Pastorius not only soloed with horn-like artistry, but combined with drummer Alex Acuna and percussionist Manolo Badrena to give Weather Report its funkiest rhythm section ever. --Chip SternProduct DescriptionWeather Report\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47631440281818,"sku":"074646510827","price":15.61,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/HEAVYWEATHER_fkndnb.jpg?v=1772158870"},{"product_id":"weather-report-weather-report-limited-180-gram-blue-colored-vinyl","title":"Weather Report – Weather Report – Limited Edition, 180 Gram Blue Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Weather Report comes Weather Report, a jazz album on Music on Vinyl.
