The exceptionally talented Jazz group Weather Report have released their CD entitled Sweetnighter. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Weather Report fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Sweetnighter their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.
It"s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I"m more than happy to announce that"s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn"t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it"s own.
Weather Report is one of those groups that have the ability to just bowl you over with their collective talent. The kind of musicians it"s really a treat to be able to listen to.
If you"re a Weather Report fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don"t even have to be a fan of lname, or even Jazz to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - 125th Street Congress, track 5 - Will, and track 6 - Non-Stop Home.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Boogie Woogie Waltz. Good stuff!
