Weather Report Mysterious Traveller CD

 awsome, just awsome
Mysterious Traveller is awsome. It's one of the best Weather Report albums ever made(all of them are great, but this is one of the better ones). If you havent heard it, you gotta.

 Unremarkable
Unlike other heavy Weather Report discs this one just does not measure up in my view. I prefer the band's later lineup that included Jaco who in my opinion was the greatest jazz bassist. Joe Z. is genius with his keyboard work but later releases of this awesome band are much better like the seminal, Heavey Weather. Weather Report is the standard by which all jazz fusion is measured.

 weather report's strongest album
For me, this represents the pinnacle of Weather Report as a jazz fusion band. Whilst it might be argued that Black Market is the more effortlessly brilliant of the albums, this one is their most cerebral and original. The vision Zawinul had is perfectly realised here, and the other members of the band play perfect roles in the grand scheme of the Master. That is to say, they don't get in the way. Because Weather Report was essentially Zawinul's band. The Jaco era was brilliant, but Jaco really had too much individual talent for the band, and his brilliance actually gets in the way of some of their latter work. This is the best WR album, as a statement and defining work of Joe Zawinul's grand vision.
