Somewhere
Best version of this piece I’ve ever heard – too bad she’s gone, what a loss of talent.
Old Vinyl Meme #3 1977
Birdland from the 1977 album Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Possibly my all-time favourite Weather Report piece and I have all of their albums. Wayne Shorter on sax, Joe Zawinul on keyboards, and Jaco Pastorius on bass. One of the best jazz-fusion bands of all time.
