Heavy Weather
Heavy Weather was the Weather Report's major commercial breakthrough; arguably their finest album ever, it succeeded in breathing new life into a genre that was challenged to compete against the latest pop/rock fads of the time. Part of the LP's success, it must be said, was due to the group's enlisting of John Francis "Jaco" Pastorius, fretless electric bassist extraordinaire; a man who forever altered the perception of his instrument and whose self-titled 1976 Epic Records debut, caused such a sensation that, at the time, many considered it to be one the greatest bass albums ever recorded.
