1	Mysterious Traveller (1974) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $3.74! new only from $6.06!
2	Speak No Evil (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $2.17! new only from $6.83!
3	Black Market (1976) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $3.95! new only from $6.06!
4	The All Seeing Eye (1965) by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist With such titles as "The All Seeing Eye," "Genesis," "Chaos," "Face of the Deep," and "Mephistopheles," it is clear from the start that the music on this CD reissue is not basic bop and blues. Wayne Shorter (who composed four of the five originals) picked an all-star cast (trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, altoist James Spaulding, trombonist Grachan ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
5	JuJu (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $5.57! new only from $7.98!
6	Mr. Gone (1978) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $4.75! new only from $4.75!
7	Footprints Live! (2004) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $3.85! new only from $9.33!
8	Super Nova (1969) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist This CD reissue brings back an important transitional album for tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Doubling on soprano (which he had recently begun playing), Shorter interprets five of his originals (including "Water Babies" which had been recorded previously by Miles Davis) and Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Dindi." He definitely used a forward-looking ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $9.91!
9	1+1 (1997) more music like this by Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter add to wishlist Beyond category or idiom, audacious in its very idea, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter perform a little over an hour of spontaneous improvised duets for grand piano and soprano sax. That's all -- no synthesizers, no rhythm sections, just wistful, introspective, elevated musings between two erudite old friends that must have made the accountants at ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.88!
10	8:30 (1979) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $4.75! new only from $4.75!
11	Heavy Weather (1977) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $2.99! new only from $6.22!
12	Night Dreamer [RVG Edition] (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $7.78! new only from $7.96!
13	Et Cetera (1965) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist Recorded in 1965 but not released until 1980, Et Cetera holds its own against the flurry of albums Wayne Shorter released during the mid-'60s, a time when he was at the peak of his powers. It is hard to imagine why Blue Note might have chosen to shelve the album, as it shows Shorter in a very favorable light with an incredibly responsive rhythm ... see all copies from $11.57! new only from $11.57!
14	Adam's Apple [Bonus Track] (1966) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $7.96! new only from $7.96!
15	Alegría (2003) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist With 2002's Footprints Live, nearly two decades of false alarms about a Wayne Shorter "comeback" finally gave way to the real thing -- at least to many critics who welcomed his return to highly cerebral acoustic post-bop. Yet the follow-up, Alegria -- apparently Shorter's first all-acoustic studio album as a leader since 1967 -- is where Shorter ... see all copies from $4.05! new only from $17.28!
16	Forecast: Tomorrow (2006) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $30.08! new only from $30.08!
17	Tribute to Miles (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This Miles Davis tribute album brings back four-fifths of his second classic quintet with Wallace Roney the logical choice to fill in for the late trumpeter. Roney comes across as a sideman and is not as forceful here as one would have hoped. Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams had all grown with time and this reunion has ... see all copies from $1.99!
18	High Life (1995) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist Wayne Shorter's debut for Verve was his first release as a leader in quite a long time and his most rewarding recording since the prime years of Weather Report, 15 years before. Shorter and keyboardist Rachel Z spent a year working on developing and orchestrating his ideas and the results are these nine originals. Although use was made of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.10!
19	Night Dreamer (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist Tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter's Blue Note debut found him well prepared to enter the big time. With an impressive quintet that includes 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 $5.88! new only from $9.00!
20	Beyond the Sound Barrier (2005) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist 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 $4.82! new only from $18.03!
21	Odyssey of Iska (1970) more music like this by Wayne Shorter add to wishlist On August 26, 1970, Wayne Shorter recorded two separate albums for Blue Note (the other one is Moto Grosso Feio), his final projects for the label. For this set, Shorter (doubling on tenor and soprano) utilizes a double rhythm section comprised of vibraphonist Dave Friedman, guitarist Gene Bertoncini, both Ron Carter and Cecil McBee on basses, ... see all copies from $45.73!
22	Weather Report [1971] (1971) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist Here we have the free-floating, abstract beginnings of Weather Report, which would define the state of the electronic jazz/rock art from its first note almost to its last. Their first album is a direct extension of the Miles Davis In a Silent Way/Bitches Brew period, more fluid in sound and more volatile in interplay. Joe Zawinul ruminates in a ... see all copies from $5.58! new only from $5.58!
23	Introducing Wayne Shorter Quintet with Wynton Kelly & Lee Morgan (2006) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Quintet/Wynton Kelly/Lee Morgan add to wishlist see all copies from $15.57! new only from $15.57!
24	Sportin' Life (1984) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $7.00!
25	Weather Report [1982] (1982) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist 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 $4.59! new only from $4.59!
