Description:
Recorded and originally released in 1975, Tale Spinnin , Weather Reports s fifth studio album, is an overlooked gem that stands with anything recorded during the 'jazz-rock fusion' era. On a range of fresh, intriguing originals by the band s co-founders and principle composers, keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, Zawinul s pioneering interest in what we now call world music is more in evidence, and his synthesizer sophistication is growing along with the available technology. Shorter s work on soprano sax is more animated than on Weather Report s previous two albums, and Alphonso Johnson brings his melodic bas
Recorded and originally released in 1975, Tale Spinnin , Weather Reports s fifth studio album, is an overlooked gem that stands with anything recorded during the 'jazz-rock fusion' era. On a range of fresh, intriguing originals by the band s co-founders and principle composers, keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, Zawinul s pioneering interest in what we now call world music is more in evidence, and his synthesizer sophistication is growing along with the available technology. Shorter s work on soprano sax is more animated than on Weather Report s previous two albums, and Alphonso Johnson brings his melodic bass to the fore. Rolling Stone said of this album, 'Tale Spinnin sets up a hypnotic groove, loose and funky with more than a touch of Afro-Latin in the rhythm section and engaging melodic detail on top. . . Spinnin convinces once again that Weather Report is the most adventurous, meticulous and consistently stimulating band working in the electric-jazz idiom.' Was also the 'Jazz Album of the Year', in the 40th Down Beat Readers Poll.
