Weather Report - Forecast: Tomorrow (3 CDs/1 DVD Box Set)

Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul took a bold collective step when, in 1970, they left their prestigious respective positions as saxophonist-principle composer with the innovative Miles Davis quintet and keyboardist-principle composer with the popular Cannonball Adderley quintet to form Weather Report. Winds of change were very much in the air then, as jazz, thanks in great part to Davis' expanded band and the Gary Burton quartet, was beginning to plug into the rock 'n' soul currents of, among others, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, and Sly Stone. From 1970 until finally dissolving in 1985, Weather Report went through a number of significant changes, and a host of talented sidemen to help implement them. The thirty-seven selections (two previously unreleased, including an extended live version of "Mysterious Traveller") in this three-CD set comprise the perfect overview of one of the most consistently challenging and inventive ensembles of the past four decades.

In addition to the two aforementioned previously unissued tracks, this package offers a stunning new discovery: a in-concert DVD filmed in Germany running more than two hours that captures the group, with the late, inimitable Jaco Pastorius on electric bass, at their zenith.
