Weather Report - Black Market (Live at Montreux 1976)

[@rixvspinner]

RIP soprano sax playing, composer, Miles Davis Quintet member, Blue Note Records and solo release classics, legend, Wayne Shorter. Black Market is one of my fav Weather Report albums. His creative musical output was extraordinary.

[@rixvspinner]

Kevin Grey if your looking at these posts, is Wayne Shorter's NIght Dreamer on the reissue Tone Poet schedule? There are so many but I would be curious to hear what you can do with Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior. Ok, add in Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller, Black Market, Weather Report, Mr. Gone.

Alphonso Johnson did it better on the album.

[@jamiepastman5594]

for you younger keyboard players -- notice when Zawinul plays the melody on the ARP 2600 that the keyboard scale is reversed. As he goes up, the notes go lower, as he goes down the notes go higher. Zawinul actually wrote the melody for Black Market with the ARP tuned this way. Inspiration can come from anywhere, always try crazy shit, don't be shy! (from a 40 year pro keyboard player)

[@artysanmobile]

I guess you intuit this since you haven’t met, but you are absolutely correct. A very nice and humble guy, & a pleasure to work with.

[@lanielight6904]

Ah, I met him once! He was playing at Pasquali's on the beach in Southern California eons ago. Clare Fischer (RIP) was presenting with my then crush, sorta friend, Professor Roland Vasquez, drummer. I went to the patio out back for the break and Alex joined me out there along with the bassist, Jorge. Anyway, Alex was very a sweet spirit, but I had little idea at the time how world-class he was/is. He played all the percussion that evening. Anyway, that's that.

To those longing for this type of fusion, check out keyboardist Scott Kinsey’s projects. He’s heavily influenced by Zawinul and WR (might even have been an actual student of his). He has also done a ton of WR tribute projects.

[@jamesmicucci7028]

Glen Bledsoe Saw this tour in Hartford, Bushnell Memorial Theater, April or May 1976. Phenomenal. My second time seeing them, the first was on the tour for the Mysterious Traveller lp, fall 1974, at the same venue, with the extraordinary Alphonso Johnson on fretless & piccolo basses. Shakti featuring John McLaughlin opened this 1976 show, also amazing (I love Indian instrumental music, too. And I would go anywhere to see Johnny Mac, electric or acoustic). All my ticket stubs are currently in a storage bin, but I doubt that it cost more than $7.50 for the best seats in the house. I was in one of them, somewhere in the first ten rows, center floor. And, this was my first time witnessing the genius of (drum roll, please, Alex) Mr. Jaco Pastorius. After this concert, I made SURE it wouldn't be the last time I saw him. His playing on the title track, and "Barbary Coast", really impressed me. One of the most purely musical concerts I've ever been to. Imagine, in the same night: McLaughlin, L. Shankar, Zakir Hussain, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, and Jaco. He was one of those people who only needed one name! As I like to say, "They just don't make 'em like this anymore...". Ps, I'll never forget hearing the homage to Joe's deceased former bandleader, that was one of the new tunes: "Cannonball". They panned the train sound across the P.A. speakers in stereo to open & close the track (pun intended), just like the album. And it was freaking LOUD! Long live WR!!

I spent a lot of time with the band this year - 1976 - and recorded them the following year. The band chose a path that would bring them tremendous success, with groundbreaking new music even breaking thru to the radio. Jaco brought a brand new sensibility to Weather Report, though Joe really struggled to accept his starring role. Truth is, and Joe knew it, Weather Report rocketed musically after 1976. It was a tumultuous time, even toxic backstage, but audiences were blissfully unaware.

If I am forced to listen to cheap, repetitive, simplistic, talentless, recycled pop garbage it absolutely impacts me in a negative way. No matter how hard I might try to enjoy plastic pop, it simply upsets me and is likely to ruin my mood. Fact. And, I'm quite sure, the people that like that sort of music would not hesitate to voice their dislike of a track by Tool, Grizzly Bear, Sparta, Miles Davis, At the Drive-in or Waax. All of which represent intelligent, talented, progressive music. Don't shoot me down just because I appreciate more complex music.
