1	Heavy Weather (1977) more music like this by Weather Report Weather Report's biggest-selling album is that ideal thing, a popular and artistic success -- and for the same reasons. For one thing, Joe Zawinul revealed an unexpectedly potent commercial streak for the first time since his Cannonball Adderley days, contributing what has become a perennial hit, "Birdland." Indeed, "Birdland" is a remarkable bit ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.06!
2	I Sing the Body Electric (1971) more music like this by Weather Report Like the weather itself, this band would assume a new shape with virtually every release -- and this album, half recorded in the studio and half live in Tokyo, set the pattern of change. Exit Airto Moreira and Alphonse Mouzon; enter percussionist Dom Um Romao, drummer Eric Gravatt, and a slew of cameo guests like guitarist Ralph Towner, flutist ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.06!
3	Mysterious Traveller (1974) more music like this by Weather Report Weather Report's fourth recording finds Wayne Shorter (on soprano and tenor) taking a lesser role as Joe Zawinul begins to really dominate the group's sound. Most selections also include bassist Alphonso Johnson and drummer Ishmael Wilburn although the personnel shifts from track to track. "Nubian Sundance" adds several vocalists while "Blackthorn ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $11.06!
4	Black Market (1976) more music like this by Weather Report The shifts in Weather Report's personnel come fast and furious now, with Narada Michael Walden and Chester Thompson as the drummers, Alex Acuna and Don Alias at the percussion table, and Alphonso Johnson giving way to the mighty, martyred Jaco Pastorius. It is interesting to hear Pastorius expanding the bass role only incrementally over what the ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $11.06!
5	Sweetnighter (1973) more music like this by Weather Report Right from the start, a vastly different Weather Report emerges here, one that reflects co-leader Joe Zawinul's developing obsession with the groove. It is the groove that rules this mesmerizing album, leading off with the irresistible 3/4 marathon deceptively tagged as the "Boogie Woogie Waltz" and proceeding through a variety of Latin-grounded ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $11.06!
6	Mr. Gone (1978) more music like this by Weather Report On Mr. Gone, Weather Report becomes merely a cover name for a Joe Zawinul/Jaco Pastorius jazz/rock/funk record production, with several guest drummers (Steve Gadd, Tony Williams, Peter Erskine), no resident percussionist, and Wayne Shorter as a still-potent solo saxophone threat. This album was denounced in its time as a sellout, probably on the ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
7	Speak No Evil (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter On his third date for Blue Note within a year, Wayne Shorter changed the bands that played on both Night Dreamer and Juju and came up with not only another winner, but also managed to give critics and jazz fans a different look at him as a saxophonist. Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those ... see all copies from $2.53! new only from $7.11!
8	Weather Report [1982] (1982) more music like this by Weather Report For some crafty reason, Weather Report gave its 11th Columbia album the same eponymous title as its first, which no doubt led to massive retail confusion. It is the last WR album for Peter Erskine, Jaco Pastorius, and Robert Thomas, Jr.; Thomas left the band soon afterwards. And with Pastorius receding a bit into the background, the creative ... see all copies from $5.67! new only from $5.67!
9	This Is This! (1985) more music like this by Weather Report Or shall we say, that is that, the final album by a group called Weather Report, now captained and guided by Josef Zawinul. The photo of Zawinul and Wayne Shorter shaking hands on the back cover of the LP is definitely a farewell gesture, for Shorter turns up on only three of the eight cuts (having left the band while this record was being made), ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $53.36!
10	Native Dancer (1974) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Some jazz purists would say that Wayne Shorter went downhill in the 1970s, when he passionately embraced electric jazz-fusion and co-led the innovative Weather Report with Joe Zawinul. But remember: Those are the same people who also claim that Miles Davis' stunning Bitches Brew has no value and that Chick Corea's visionary Return to Forever was a ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
11	Tale Spinnin' (1975) more music like this by Weather Report Weather Report's ever-changing lineup shifts again, with the somewhat heavier funk-oriented Leon "Ndugu" Chancler dropping into the drummer's chair and Alyrio Lima taking over the percussion table. As a result, Tale Spinnin' has a weightier feel than Mysterious Traveller, while continuing the latter's explorations in Latin-spiced electric jazz ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $31.45!
12 view cover	Forecast: Tomorrow (2006) more music like this by Weather Report In an era when box sets are so plentiful and are basically de rigueur for any major, and some not so major labels, it's virtually a wonder that a Weather Report box set didn't appear until the 21st century. Things take as long as they must, evidently, and Legacy has done an outstanding job with this set. Consisting of three CDs and a DVD of a ... see all copies from $24.19! new only from $41.89!
13 view cover	Footprints Live! (2002) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Some of Shorter's most celebrated compositions comprise this set of live performances, recorded at various European venues in 2001. His all-star quartet shows a strong kinship with the group led by Miles Davis during Shorter's tenure in the mid-'60s. Its omission of a second horn, however, comes at the price of making it harder to fully explore ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.93!
14 view cover	The Classic Blue Note Recordings (2002) more music like this by Wayne Shorter While this isn't the only Wayne Shorter Blue Note collection, it is the best. The Best of Wayne Shorter, which was released in 1998 within a series of other Blue Note best-ofs that were coming out at the time, is adequate, but with only one disc it's hard to cover any ground with a guy who's recorded around a dozen top-notch records as a leader ... see all copies from $15.92! new only from $23.82!
15 view cover	Beyond the Sound Barrier (2005) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Recorded live on three different continents (Europe, America, and Asia) from 2002-2004, Beyond the Sound Barrier finds Wayne Shorter leading the same acoustic-oriented post-bop quartet he led on his 2001 recording, Footprints Live!; the veteran tenor and soprano saxophonist is joined by pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer ... see all copies from $16.93! new only from $16.93!
16 view cover	JuJu (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Fulfilling the potential promised on his Blue Note debut, Night Dreamer, Wayne Shorter's Ju Ju was the first really great showcase for both his performance and compositional gifts. Early in his career as a leader Shorter was criticized as a mere acolyte of John Coltrane, and his use of Coltrane's rhythm section on his first two Blue Note albums ... see all copies from $8.33! new only from $8.33!
17 view cover	Night Dreamer [RVG Edition] (2005) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter's Blue Note debut found him well prepared to enter the big time. With an impressive quintet that included trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Elvin Jones, Shorter performed a well-rounded program consisting of five of his originals (this CD reissue adds an alternate take of ... see all copies from $8.22! new only from $11.13!
18 view cover	Adam's Apple (1966) more music like this by Wayne Shorter With the possible exception of its song, "Footprints," which would become a jazz standard, Adam's Apple received quite a bit less attention upon its release than some of the preceding albums in Wayne Shorter's catalog. That is a shame because it really does rank with the best of his output from this incredibly fertile period. From the first ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
19 view cover	Night Passage (1980) more music like this by Weather Report All things being relative, this is Weather Report's straightahead album, where the elaborate production layers of the late-'70s gave way to sparer textures and more unadorned solo improvisation in the jazz tradition, electric instruments and all. The flaw of this album is the shortage of really memorable compositions; it is more of a vehicle for ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
20 view cover	Schizophrenia (1967) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Wayne Shorter was at the peak of his creative powers when he recorded Schizophrenia in the spring of 1967. Assembling a sextet that featured two of his Miles Davis bandmates (pianist Herbie Hancock and bassist Ron Carter), trombonist Curtis Fuller, alto saxophonist/flautist James Spaulding and drummer Joe Chambers, Shorter found a band that was ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
21 view cover	Sportin' Life (1984) more music like this by Weather Report With de facto leader Joe Zawinul now even more set on a world music groove-oriented direction than ever, it is hard to place Weather Report even within the broad electric jazz -- or fusion, if you must -- category at this point. But forget labels; this is another superb WR album where the grooves percolate and thump along in an irresistible surge, ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $32.52!
22 view cover	Atlantis (1985) more music like this by Wayne Shorter When it was released in 1985, this set (reissued on CD) was Wayne Shorter's first solo album in nine years and...does not find him returning to the style of his Blue Note years. The music is quite difficult to describe, since it contains some unpredictable funk rhythms, the feel of electronics (even though much of the music is actually acoustic) ... see all copies from $15.00!
23 view cover	8:30 (1979) more music like this by Weather Report Weather Report is generally regarded as the greatest jazz fusion band of all time, with the biggest jazz hit ("Birdland") from the best jazz fusion album (1977's Heavy Weather). But the group's studio mastery sometimes overshadows the fact that it was also a live juggernaut -- so don't overlook the outstanding live and studio album from 1979, 8:30 ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
24 view cover	The Best of Wayne Shorter (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Although one can't lose with any of Shorter's classic Blue Note titles from the '60s, this sampler is perfect for newcomers just wanting to get their feet wet. Covering the period 1964-1969, the nine tracks include highlights from Night Dreamer ("Virgo"), Speak No Evil (the title track and "Infant Eyes"), and Adam's Apple ("Footprints"). There's ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
25 view cover	Adam's Apple [Bonus Track] (2003) more music like this by Wayne Shorter One often returns to classic recordings with mixed feelings. On one hand, there's the anticipation of hearing great music, and on the other, trepidation that the recording has failed to hold up over time. By 1966 Wayne Shorter had entered one of his most creative periods, both as a solo artist and as a member of Miles Davis' second classic quintet ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
