1980-1982: A Tighter Arrangement: Jaco Pastorius, With Bass Guitar in Toronto, November 1977

Weather Report - Wikipedia 01/10/19, 17(08
solo album of his own, which involved moving away from a raw group sound in favor of constructing a far more
orchestrated and experimental studio-based recording with multiple overdubs. However, Weather Report's contract
and work schedule required another album, so Zawinul's solo work was absorbed into what became Weather Report's
eighth album, Mr. Gone (1978).
The studio sessions made use of a variety of drummers – Pastorius played

the kit on two tracks and further contributions came from Tony Williams,
Steve Gadd, and Peter Erskine (the latter an ex-Stan Kenton/Maynard
Ferguson drummer recruited to the project by Pastorius). Erskine became a
full member of the band for the next tour and remained with Weather Report
until 1982. The album also featured guest appearances from Deniece
Williams and Earth Wind and Fire leader Maurice White. Jaco Pastorius, with bass guitar
in Toronto, November 1977
The album rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. [14]
Notoriously, Mr. Gone (1978) received only a one-star review rating from DownBeat after a string of group releases
which had all pulled a five-star rating. The group arranged for a rebuttal interview with the magazine to defend their
efforts. Zawinul and Pastorius were defiant in their responses to the interviewer, Shorter more philosophical, and
Erskine the most reticent of the four.
By the late '70s, Weather Report was a quartet of Zawinul,

Shorter, Pastorius, and Erskine, and (for the first time) had
dispensed with the auxiliary percussionist role, which had
been integral since the band's inception. Instead, all four
members doubled on percussion at various points in live
performances. Zawinul commented that this sleeker, less
crowded sound provided more listening range and made
the music less chaotic now that the band were focusing
more on melody and harmony.[15][16]
The larger scale and multimedia staging of the band's tours Weather Report performing in Amsterdam, in 1980
(complete with stagehands, laser and film projections)
began to take on the kind of rock-star proportions mostly
unknown in jazz circles. The 1979 double live album 8:30 (which won that year's Best Jazz Fusion Performance) was
recorded on the Mr. Gone tour and captured the direct power and energy of this lineup of Weather Report. Zawinul
would later describe this lineup as "one of the greatest bands of all time! That band was a hummer!"[17]
Between March 2 and 4, 1979, Weather Report traveled to Havana, Cuba, to participate in the historic Havana Jam
festival, a break in mutual Cuban/American political hostilities, which had American artists such as Stephen Stills, the
CBS Jazz All-Stars, Bonnie Bramlett, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, and Billy Joel play alongside Cuban artists
such as Irakere, Pacho Alonso, Tata Güines, and Orquesta Aragón. Another featured performance was by the Trio of
Doom (a short-lived teaming of Pastorius with John McLaughlin and Tony Williams). Weather Report's performance
featured in Havana Jam '79, Ernesto Juan Castellanos' documentary celebrating the event.
1980-1982: A tighter arrangement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Report Pagina 8 di 18
During 1979's touring, Shorter had begun to feel sidelined by the current Weather Report's aggressive drive and by the
sometimes overly macho musical interplay between Pastorius and Zawinul, which on at least one occasion squeezed
him out of band performance. At one point, he claimed to a journalist that he would be leaving the band within a few
months. In the event, Shorter resolved his major differences with his bandmates - but the near-split appeared to
inform Weather Report's next development, which was a step back towards a purer jazz approach.
At the beginning of 1980, Pastorius recruited hand-drummer Bobby

Thomas, Jr. (a fellow Floridan, with whom he had jammed previously)
into the band. Thomas featured on the 1980 album Night Passage. A
tighter and more traditional recording than previous releases, the record
featured a more prominent role for Shorter, a strong element of bebop,
and a nod to jazz's golden age via a high-speed cover of Duke Ellington's
"Rockin' in Rhythm" (showing off Zawinul's pioneering and ever-
Drummer Thomas, left, and Shorter, increasing ability to create synthetic big-band sounds on his
performing in Amsterdam, in 1980 synthesizers).
By now, Pastorius was displaying signs of the mental instability and

substance abuse problems that ultimately wrecked his career; and the close relationship he'd previously shared with
Zawinul was becoming strained as Zawinul grew tired of Pastorius' showmanship onstage (beginning to feel that it
detracted from the music). Towards the end of the year, Pastorius began working on his long-delayed second solo
album (Word of Mouth) (1981) in New York, while Zawinul worked on new Weather Report material in California.
Weather Report's next album Weather Report (1982) - their second eponymous release following their 1971 debut -
was recorded in 1981, although it was not released for another year. Zawinul's dominance as instrumentalist and
composer (as well as group director) was even more pronounced on this album. Much of the band's music was
increasingly written out rather than improvised. In the event, Pastorius spent more of his creative attention on the
Word of Mouth project: his only writing for the Weather Report album being his contribution to a single, group-
composed piece. Shorter (who only contributed one whole composition to the 1982 album beyond group-written
work) was already taking a more philosophical approach. He later commented, "for a long time in Weather Report, I
abstained. I elected not to do things."
The delay in releasing the 1982 Weather Report album had the side effect of breaking up the current line-up of the
band. By late 1981, Pastorius was putting together the Word of Mouth Big Band (which included Erskine) for concert
dates in Japan, on the assumption that 1982 would be a Weather Report rest year. However, previously canceled tour
dates had left the band open to potentially crippling lawsuits and an obligation to play replacement concerts. When
scheduled, these clashed with the Word of Mouth concerts and led to Pastorius leaving Weather Report, albeit
relatively amicably. As Zawinul put it, "We had no choice. We had to find another bass player... Basically, Jaco went
his way and we had to go ours."
Erskine's own commitment to Word of Mouth (and a subsequent summer commitment to Steps Ahead) meant that
he, too, had to be replaced, while Robert Thomas, Jr., was simply dismissed. Reduced to a duo, and with tour
commitments looming, Zawinul and Shorter were obliged to quickly assemble a new band.
1982–1985: A new band
On the recommendation of Michał Urbaniak, Zawinul and Shorter recruited the 23-year-old drummer Omar Hakim, a
talented session player and multi-instrumentalist, who had played with a variety of musicians (including Mike
Mainieri, David Bowie, and Carly Simon). Hakim was immediately entrusted with recruiting the rest of the new
lineup. Having failed to secure Marcus Miller as bass guitarist, he selected Victor Bailey (a recent graduate from the
Berklee College of Music, with whom Hakim had played while backing Miriam Makeba). Hakim also recruited
percussion/concertina player José Rossy, with whom he had worked in Labelle.
The new Weather Report went straight onto tour. The music developed on tour was later recorded for the 1983 album
Procession, which showed the band beginning to make something of a return to the "world music" approach which it
had pioneered in the mid-1970s, and featured a cameo appearance from The Manhattan Transfer.
Continuing with the same lineup, Weather Report recorded the Domino Theory album in 1984, with Hakim stepping
into Jaco Pastorius' old role as Zawinul's co-producer. The album was Weather Report's first album to employ drum
machines and samplers (the Emulator), deepening the band's involvement with cutting-edge music technology) and
also featured a guest vocal from Carl Anderson. However, by this point in time the band's profile was beginning to
suffer due to the revival of more traditionally styled jazz, which made it harder to market jazz fusion.
Percussionist and singer Mino Cinélu replaced Rossy in the spring of 1984 and appeared on the band's video release
Live in Japan (reissued on DVD in 2007). The same lineup played on 1985's Sportin' Life album, which included a
cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and appearances by Bobby McFerrin and Carl Anderson. In keeping with
Zawinul's technological curiosity, the album heralded the arrival of MIDI, which allowed him to rapidly and
inexpensively write, demonstrate, and record music via a set of synthesizers.
By the time of the release of Sportin' Life Shorter and Zawinul had opted not to tour the material. Instead, they took a
break for long-delayed solo projects. Despite Weather Report's inactivity (during which Hakim joined Sting's band
and Bailey worked with Steps Ahead), Zawinul and Shorter still claimed that the band was still a going concern.
1986: Final split

Weather Report's contract with Columbia Records expired in 1986, leaving both parties open to other options. By this
point, both Zawinul and Shorter were beginning to realise that the refreshing nature of other projects was more
satisfying than Weather Report work, and both generally felt that the band had run its course.[1]
Since Columbia Records was contractually owed one more Weather Report record, the band delivered it in the shape
of their 1986 album This Is This!, which was assembled during gaps in various players' schedules. With Hakim now
too busy with Sting to play drums on more than one of the album's tracks, Zawinul recruited Peter Erskine to play the
rest. Cinelu and Bailey were both flown in for a few days to record, and contributed one composition each, with the
remainder being written by Zawinul. For two tracks, Zawinul brought in guitarist Carlos Santana as a contributor.
However, Shorter spent barely any more time on the project than Bailey or Cinelu did: he contributed no
compositions at all, and was not even present on many of the album's tracks.
In February 1986, the San Diego Union-Tribune announced that Shorter had left the band to concentrate on solo
work.[18] Having reluctantly agreed with Shorter that he would no longer use the band name, Zawinul then ended
Weather Report.
1986-present: After Weather Report

Having split the band, Zawinul promptly attempted to reform it - after a fashion - as Weather Update.[1] For this
project, he reunited with recent Weather Report alumni Victor Bailey, Mino Cinélu and Peter Erskine, but replaced
Shorter with guitarist John Scofield. This lineup was short-lived, with Los Angeles session guitarist Steve Khan and
former Weather Report percussionist Robert Thomas, Jr. replacing Scofield and Cinelu prior to live appearances.[19]
Weather Update toured in 1986 and 1987 before Zawinul dissolved the band. From 1988 onwards, Zawinul went on to
enjoy a successful nineteen-year career leading the world music/jazz ensemble The Zawinul Syndicate (which has
continued, following Zawinul's death, as The Syndicate).
Rather than form another collective band, Wayne Shorter concentrated on his solo career and on work as a
bandleader, which continues to the present day.
In spite of the band's enduring popularity, a Weather Report reunion never occurred. The nearest that the band ever
came to reuniting was when Zawinul and Shorter both played live with Miles Davis on July 10, 1991, in Paris (the only
time when Zawinul is known to have shared a live stage with Davis).[6] A projected mid-'90s reunion CD for Verve
never materialized; according to Zawinul, disappointing sales for Shorter's CD High Life may have played a part in
ending the idea.[20]
Four of the band's members have since died. Zawinul himself died on September 11, 2007, in Vienna from skin cancer
(Merkel cell carcinoma).[21][22] He was predeceased by mid-period bass player Jaco Pastorius, who died on
September 21, 1987, following a fatal beating in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Pastorius' successor on
bass guitar, Victor Bailey, died on November 11, 2016 (apparently from complications from Charcot-Marie-Tooth
disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).[23][24]. Alphonse Mouzon, the first drummer, died on December 25, 2016
from cardiac arrest after neuroendocrine cancer.[25][26]

Timeline
Releases since the band's breakup

A "post band" Weather Report double CD called Live and Unreleased was made available in 2002, featuring vintage
live recordings made during the late 1970s/early 1980s with various personnel. In September 2006, Columbia/Legacy
released a Weather Report boxed set, Forecast: Tomorrow. It includes three CDs of mostly previously released
material (from 1970 to 1985, excluding This is This!) and a DVD of the entire September 29, 1978, performance (with
Erskine and Pastorius) in Offenbach, Germany, not previously available. A DVD video of the 1976 Montreux Jazz
Festival performance (featuring the Heavy Weather lineup of Pastorius, Acuna, and Badrena) has become available, as
well. Columbia/Legacy have also re-released the 1984 Live in Japan concert on DVD.
In 2011, the Zawinul estate, in conjunction with an independent label, released a 40th-anniversary commemorative
trilogy of previously unavailable Weather Report live shows: In March Live in Berlin 1975 was released both on vinyl
and as a CD/DVD set; in June the Live in Offenbach 1978 DVD was re-released together with a previously unavailable
double CD of the complete show; in October Live in Cologne 1983 was released as both DVD and double CD.
