The Story Behind: Weather Report - Heavy Weather, Ep 67
Episode description
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Weather Report is the preeminent jazz fusion supergroup of the 1970s, but what happens when one of the most talented bass players of all time joins the band and starts composing? The fellas discuss musical forward-thinking into the regrettable 1980s, playing the bass like it was a horn section, and the evolution of the "fusion" genre.
