Weather Report's music seems to be rediscovered. Our own Michiel Borstlap already preceded in 1999 with an idiosyncratic, through-composed, acoustic version of the songs by Josef Zawinul and Wayne Shorter on his CD Body Acoustic. Now it is the turn of producer and keyboard player Jason Miles to really celebrate the 30th anniversary with a selection of musicians. In addition to former Weather Report
… members Victor Bailey (bass) and Omar Hakim (drums), Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Randy Brecker (trumpet), Marcus Miller (bass guitar), Joe Sample (piano), David Sanborn (alto sax) and John Scofield (guitar) eleven carefully selected songs. Jason Miles, once producer of the Miles Davis album Tutu, hopes with this CD that the CD ' s from Weather Report will be listened to again and that people will sigh: such music is actually no longer made, only to say after listening to the CD Celebrating ... 'or surely'. (RM)more
