Weather Report:
the return of jazz
music
By TOMMY BOWDEN
Editor's note: Weather Report
will be in concert at the
Atlanta Civic Center Sunday,
October 13.
For decades now, people hav
been saying that jazz is dead.
For just as long, others have
been saying that a new burst of
popularity for jazz was just
about to happen. It now seems
that the latter group was right.
Jazz is indeed coming back,
but in a form bearing little
resemblence to the jazz of the
thirties and forties. The new
jazz is the result of a merger
between the esoteric “modern
music" of the sixties and the
unintellectual but vastly more
popular rock music.
The man most responsible
for this new jazz is the trum
peter Miles Davis. His influ
ence on the jazz of the seven
ties is comparable to the
influence John Mayall had on
English blues in the sixties.
His albums of the years 1969-
1971 are the models for the new
jazz, and his former sidemen
have become its leaders.
It was John McLaughlin who
first made the new jazz popu
lar with the general public
with his Mahavishnu Orches
tra. Herbie Hancock. Chick
Corea, and Keith Jarrett, all
Davis sidemen, have become
major figures The Mahavish
nu Orchestra should have been
the unquestioned leader of the
new jazz, but instead it fell
apart in a titanic clash of egos
Following its breakup, leader
ship of the new jazz passed to
another group led by Miles
Davis sidemen. Weather Re

man Wayne Shorter, both ve
terans of Davis' group. Zawi
nul also played with the Can
nonball Adderly Quintet. He
wrote the hit song “Mercy,
Mercy, Mercy" at that time.
The two men founded Weather
Report late in 1970, and today
are the only remaining original
members. The rest of the
group are Al Johnson on bass,
Dom Um Ramao on percussion
and drummer Darryl Brown.
They recently released their
fourth album, "Mysterious
Traveller." It's their best yet.
The group’s writing and play
ing are excellent. Like the
Mahavishnu Orchestra, this
group's music is beautiful in
an aesthetic, intellectual way
and yet at the same time is as
physically exciting as the best
rock music.
My only reservations about
the album concern the way it
was produced and recorded.
Weather Report’s recordings
have always used a lot of
sound effects and overdubbing.
This was fine on their earlier
albums, but as their music
became more rock-oriented, it
tended to get in the way.
The worst thing about the
recording technique is that all
the multitracking and mixing
damages the sound. At several
times, especially in the longer
pieces, it is hard to hear
everything. I have heard the
group in live concerts; their
sound has much more impact
and clarity on stage than on
record. Nevertheless, “Myster
ious Traveller” is an excellent
album, and one well worth
hearing.

Crunch! Oh Boy! Your taste buds shoot into action.
Eagerly they absorb the substance, sucking and savoring
the flavor from the little morsel. Cheated, they recoil,
letting the teeth take over the mechanical process of grind
ing the stuff to an insipid mush. Salty and synthetic, a taste
that after the initial contact is dead and as palatable as a
shoelace.
Cheese, it says on the package, where? Oh, do they mean
this orange acrylic paint-like substance sprayed on these
little puffs of air? A mixture so added to, processed,
chemically treated that the originality of whatever cheese
was there has vanished, disappeared. What is left is|a
crispy crunch that serves the purpose of exercising the jaw
and not the taste buds.

round them in the song “Your
Mother Should Know.”
Technically, the inexperi
enced Beatles used histrionic
jump cuts and fast and slow-
motion shots to add a veneer of
action and gaiety.
The strong point of the film,
which ends up being a mad
romp through the English
countryside overseen by four
magicians who look suspicious
ly like John, Paul, George and
Ringo, is the musical score.
The songs written and re
corded for the "Tour" were the
title song (".. Roll up, roll up
for the mystery tour”), the
beautiful "Fool On the Hill,"
the first all-Beatle composition
— an instrumental called "Fly
ing," George Harrison's Indian
influenced “Blue Jay Way,"
the bouncy nostalgia of Paul’s
"Your Mother Should Know"
and the classic Beatle psyche
delic sound and witty word
games of John’s “I Am the
Walrus."
Paul complained that the
Beatles were prisoners of their
own fame and that the film
had been misunderstood. “We
thought we would not underes
timate people and would do
something new...we could put
on a mop-top show but we
don’t really like that sort of
entertainment anymore," he
said.
He added that if the film
accomplished nothing else, it
had been a learning experience
for The Beatles as filmmakers.
Two years later they would
make another film, this time
hiring director Michael Lind-
say-Hogg, and the result would
be the award-winning "Let It
Be ’’
