artist:Weather Report 3 notes
Weather Report disbanded back in '86, and sadly we lost co-founder Joe Zawinul in 2007 and the legendary Jaco Pastorius way back in '87. Wayne Shorter is still around and performing, while their catalog keeps getting reissued - most recently "The Essential Weather Report" in 2013.
