Weather Report – Live In Berlin 1971

Description: New Vinyl , LIMITED EDITION – BLACK VINYL – 400 PCSWeather Report at the very beginning of their rich, colorful career. Recorded on September 3, 1971 in Berlin, the performance is unrestrained fusion, developed from the experience of playing with Miles Davis and taken to a completely new level. A sensational must-read for every fan of the genre. For the first time officially on CD and double vinyl!Weather Report is a jazz-rock icon. Led by pianist Joe Zawinul, the group left a lasting mark on the history of music thanks to the revolutionary sound and creativity of its musicians. In their work, they combined jazz finesse, rock power and Latin energy, becoming remembered by listeners around the world with the dancing "Birdland" from the album "Heavy Weather" (1977). However, before they reached the top of the charts, they broke all conventions and boundaries of fusion in their careers. “Live in Berlin 1971” is a fascinating picture from this period. Extended, free forms full of solo and collective improvisations - including "Directions" performed by Zawinul with Miles Davis or "Moto Grosso Feio" from Wayne Shorter's solo album of the same title. Plus three special guests: Alan Skidmore, Eje Thelin and John Surman, whose energetic solos perfectly complement Zawinul's cascades of electric piano and Shorter's saxophone cadenzas. The sound and energy of that evening are hard to find anywhere else."Live in Berlin 1971" will be released on October 27, 2023, both as a 2CD album (with a full recording of the performance) and as a limited 2LP edition. The vinyl will be available in three variants: as a black LP and two color versions - one available via GAD Records, the other in the official Weather Report store. The material was created as part of a series of jazz workshops organized on behalf of the NDR radio station from Hamburg. The album is accompanied by a text written by the award-winning German journalist Wolf Kampmann, author of books and expert on European jazz. The album is released as part of a partnership between GAD Records, celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, and the Weather Report group.LIMITED EDITION – BLACK VINYL – 400 COPIESWeather Report at the very beginning of their rich, colorful career.
