Sony Music Showcase: Weather Report – The Columbia Years

Sony Music Showcase

Weather Report – The Columbia Years

SonySony Music is home to a plethora of labels which historically have provided soul and jazz of the highest order: Sony Jazz, RCA, Columbia, Epic, CTI, Buddah, and Kudu. Their catalogue allows for some quite incredible programming.

In this Sony Music Showcase, Mike Chadwick takes a look at the music of Weather Report from their Columbia albums between 1971 – 1975 as they evolved from a “electronic avant-garde band into a groove improvisatory monster”. Precisely.

Your feedback is always welcome and we hope you enjoy another unique presentation from SoulandJazz.com.
