Recorded live in January and February, 1979. Includes liner notes by Scott H. Thompson.
This is part of the Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters series.
Due to the standard length of all compact discs, "Scarlet Woman" has been ommitted from the Columbia/Legacy re-issue of 8:30 in order to accommodate the CD format.
You think these cool fusion cats rewrote the jazz/rock songbook on record? Well, live, in person, and on a friendly stage, Weather Report easily smote the light fantastic, sang the body electric, and traveled mysteriously through lands brazen and bruised. 8:30 captures Zawinul, Shorter, et al, in absolutely stellar form, wringing yet more visceral energy from a good portion of their first five albums. They extend the already meaty compositional density of songs to include a variety of kaleidoscopic solos and wondrous incidental occurrences.
Zawinul's keyboards are nothing short of electrifying. The synergy between him and Shorter harnesses the gut-level intensity of rock music and plugs it into jazz's vast improvisational resources. Weather Report's electronic iridescence teeters on the brink of joyful cacophony. Linear tensions are set up between Shorter's volcanic sax and Don Alias' galvanizing rhythm section, as Zawinul's multi-hued synthesizers color the surroundings in a lambent haze of pan-cultural sizzle. Note: the Japanese import of 8:30 reproduces the original double LP in its entirety, while the single-disc domestic release omits one track.
Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios).
Reissue producer: John Snyder.
Weather Report: Joe Zawinul (keyboards, synthesizer, bass, vocoder); Wayne Shorter (soprano & tenor saxophone); Jaco Pastorius (bass, drums); Peter Erskine (drums, percussion); Erich Zawinul (percussion).
Additional personnel: Ten members of the West Los Angeles Christian Academy Children's Choir.

This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
Probably the best fusion album ever made, and the coming together of five precociously talented musicians. Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter assembled the unit with little knowledge that the complex music would become so accessible. Two compostions stand out; the graceful 'A Remark You Made', an evocative love song without words, and the hit single 'Birdland' (so successful it was even used by Akai for a major advertising campaign). On these two Zawinul compostions their genius bass player Jaco Pastorius gives a taste of what he was capable of. He bent the notes to make them talk, and that ...

Long-revered session drummer Vinnie Colaiuta jets to fusion's version of The Twilight Zone on his Stretch Records debut, a multi-influential, hardcore player's fiesta rife with moody effects, monster expressions by all his high-powered pals, and decadent experimentation. So, is that good or bad? Depends on your perspective. From a purely artistic point ...

Principally recorded at The Complex, Los Angeles, California.
All things being relative, this is Weather Report's straightahead album, where the elaborate production layers of the late-'70s gave way to sparer textures and more unadorned solo improvisation in the jazz tradition, electric instruments and all. The flaw of this album is the shortage of really ...
