| Again Tripod offers a brief introduction to another important jazz ensemble: Weather Report. The French language site dedicated to this group from some time ago remains online http://membres.lycos.fr/synoc/weather.htm, although some links are out of date, keyboardist Zawinul's page is current http://www.binkie.net/zawinul/. The early death of the Report's bass player, Jaco Pastorius, has placed him in that sad ensemble of players denied the chance to reach their potential. http://www.jacop.net/ ( http://airjudden.tripod.com/jazz/weatherreport.html ) | ||
