Man, I really wish I could've seen Weather Report. I was born about 15 years too late sadly.

Black Market album will always have a special place in my heart, just love the organic earthy funky sound.

Black Market really feels like an sensory-audio experience somewhat like chromesthesia, except you can literally imagine a certain environment while listening to each song, you feel the music conveying movement and the feel of people, things and places. I love the entire concept and execution of it, the natural sound effects they use at the beginning and end of tracks, the song titles and beautiful cover art to boot. The album sonically transports you to such an cool and interesting setting, some black market in a far flung Caribbean island or coastal African town. For me, this is the best kind of music, music that brings to life a tangible scenery to the point where I'm visualizing things in a very cinematic way. I've gotten so much out of that particular album, that's the one that clicks with me the most. I love the journey it takes me on.

These guys were true musical geniuses, particularly speaking of Zawinul, Shorter, and Jaco. I really appreciate their artistry and the level of thought they put into all of their music, you can tell they always strove to reach higher realms. I highly recommend the Wayne Short: Zero Gravity documentary on Amazon Prime, really gives some insight into how deep his musicality and conceptual thought process was.

I would say another great album and one of my personal favorites that I would recommend listening to along with Weather Report's Black Market is Light of Worlds by Kool & the Gang, different feel and setting, but in a similar vein in terms of its intent and style of music.

I am actually proud that I listened to this band way before I began watching Jojo

One of the greatest fusion bands ever! It’s fascinating that so many talented musicians were in this band. Mysterious Traveller is definitely my favorite album from them. Long live Weather Report!

Чёрный рынок и одноимённый альбом интересны уже тем, что моментально находят путь к ушам любителей риал прога, тех, что далеки от всякого прочего джаза, но при обстоятельствах врубаются в ост к Обеду нагишом. Это про себя... Довольно колоритная музыка, которой свойственен характерный сдельный ритм, декоративные мелодии, которые вьются на протяжении всей длительности... Weather Report. Если в аду хорошая музыка, то в раю - хорошая погода.

Sweetnighter is very underrated on here. Their all time best work and so far down the charts. SHAME.

They were so awesome live. I find myself almost exclusively listening to their live tracks these days. Especially with Jaco the man.

Most of their studio albums should have been cut as 2-disc sets. The live versions of their songs are almost always twice as long as what wound up on the records. Live Weather Report is something else. Also don't underestimate the Hakim/Bailey band. "Procession" was one of WR's best.

Z Mirosławem na basie zespół był świetny, potem, jak odszedł Mirosław zaczął dołować, aż w końcu, jak Dżako się zadomowił zrobili z fjużyn, jak to określił Zawinul, mówiąc - o ironio - nie o sobie, lecz o innych, muzykę pod reklamę płatków śniadaniowych. Po Heavy Weather było naprawdę dość ubogo.

This is This isn't as bad as everyone wants to make it. Sure, it's no Black Market nor Heavy Weather, but it's still pretty cool

This respected group has always sought to extract a diverse and deep sound. They have always been adventurous in the choice of material, and in the philosophical approach to the music. They produce a great impression of a mixture of artistry and power of influence. It makes sense to have them for your own collection.
