WEATHER REPORT/TALE SPINNIN

Descripción

TALE SPINNIN WEATHER REPORTS FIFTH ALBUM OPENS WITH THE MAN WITH THE GREEN SHIRT AN OUTSTANDING JOE ZAWINUL COMPOSITION AND CLASSIC WEATHER REPORT TRACK THAT EMBODIES THE BAND. LUSITANOS IS A QUINTESSENTIAL WAYNE SHORTER COMPOSITION WHICH EXHIBITS ALL THE CLASSIC SHORTER TOUCHES ANGULAR AND EMOTIONAL YET COOLLY LOGICAL IN ITS PHRASING. ZAWINULS BETWEEN THE THIGHS IS A 9:30 MIN. LONG TUNE IN THE FAVORED MODE OF THE WEATHER REPORT GROOVE EVINCING A MORE ELABORATE SUITE-LIKE QUALITY IN ITS COMPOSITION. THE INTERLUDES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER WITH ZAWINULS MAGICAL RUNS ON THE KEYBOARDS AS WAYNE SHORTER DICTATES HIS HORN TO COMPLIMENT THE MUSIC. FIVE SHORT STORIES IS A HARMONIOUS ENDING TO A GREAT DISC.
