CD Review: Absolutely VITAL Fusion - This monumental achievement by WR is surely one of their top 3 records, though note it is more groove-oriented and ambient than their others. The six tunes cover an amazing breadth of mood and every song is truly great (no need to single out one). Heavy percussion complements heavy bass lines which are lustrous acoustic on some tracks and electric on others. The sax soloing is sparse and atmospheric --even by Wayne standards-- and always magnificent. Together with MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER (likewise groove-oriented and ambient), TAIL SPINNIN' and BLACK MARKET you have four of the great fusion/ world/ ambient releases of all time. You can't go wrong with those -- each and every track. Review: Funky and Cerebral - A to the point reminder that Joe Zawinul was bringing the funk from the beginning with the great Cannonball Adderley bands. A pivotal moment for the band as Zawinul's funky Rhodes joins with the cerebral genius of Wayne Shorter...Miroslav Vitous ingenuity working Arco bass like a horn, the crazy crazy polyrhythmic percussion section and the secret weapon...Andrew White on electric bass and oboe! I called this album funky and cerebral it would be a mistake not to notice how those qualities inform one another in the music and the players making it. My favorite is Miroslav's "Will" but everything is top notch and deeply enjoyable. FIVE EMPHATIC STARS!!!

Giving fusion a good name
The mid 70's witnessed the joining of jazz and rock(sort of) into a tentative style called fusion that rode roughshod over the musical landscape for a few years with mixed results. Weather Report arrived with full cred and within a decade were the compositional kings of the genre. Well conceived and played, the songs were always first with this band and this, their third album, is no exception. Wayne Shorter, people!!

This is one of Weather Report top 3 best album ever released
This is one of Weather Report top 3 best album ever released. I purchased the first released of this album back in early 70s. I still love it to this day. It’s one of those albums you may not like it at first but it grows on you, then you can’t let it go...

This is the original Weather Report with Miroslov Vitous
Weather Report started off as a true jazz-rock fusion band as invented by the genius Miles Davis. Joe Zawinul was with Miles during the Jazz fusion era. Later the group became watered down with smooth jazz influences with Jaco Pastorius on bass. The band wanted to make money, get played on Smooth Jazz FM Radio and sell albums. Nothing wrong with that but the genre morphed away from Miles Davis. SWEETNIGHTER is still the original jazz fusion group Weather Report with Miroslov Vitous on bass.

Classic!!! One of the best albums & best bands to come out of the post"Bitches Brew"jazz fusion era.Grooving!Adventurous!Hypnotic! & free all at the same time,especially on Boogie Woogie Waltz.A funky jam in 3,who would've thought it? It continues to builds from beginning to end..Also 125th street congress is a standout.One of the best in its genre.

Sweetnighter is a neglected and underrated project. Today we can see that it was a crucial transitional project that led Weather Report from abstract and cool free jazz of their first two lp's to the successful fusion of jazz, funk and rock with third world music. Besides some expensive Japan reissues, it was unavailable on vinyl for decades. Thanks to Music on Vinyl for bringing it back. The 2002 cd reissue was a great remastering, but these recordings are still best sounding on first class vinyl. Music on Vinyl pressing is clean and dynamic. The price on Amazon.de is also fair. I can't wait for the Misterious Traveller vinyl reissue, please. Gordan, Macedonia

I remember quite clearly the first time I heard this album; I was back home for a long weekend away from school and visiting a friend, who had a very decent stereo for the time; and he put this on... wow! I had never heard anything like Boogie Woogie Walz before, with its hypnotic melody and pure funk. And so different from the first two albums. I bought my own copy shortly afterward, plus many other Weather Report albums. I decided to order this anniversary pressing to see what it sounded like in comparison with my original, and I have to say "wow", it's pretty great. Seems a bit more clear and the highs not so close to being overdriven. Better left-right balance too, I believe. An exceptionally quiet pressing. Anyone who likes this album should consider it. Highly recommended!
