WEATHER REPORT PROJECT

The Weather Report Project is a tribute to the famous fusion band Weather Report.

Weather Report was initially co-led by Austrian-born keyboardist Joe Zawinul, American saxophonist Wayne Shorter and Czech bassist Miroslav Vitouš. Other prominent members at various points in the band's life have included bassists Alphonso Johnson, Jaco Pastorius and Victor Bailey, and drummers/percussionists Peter Erskine, Alex Acuña, Airto Moreira and Chester Thompson. For most of its existence, the band was a quintet of keyboards, saxophone, bass, drums and percussion.Music journalist Josef Woodard called Weather Report the "best jazz band of the last 30 years of the 20th century" in an article about the group in the US jazz magazine Down Beat in January 2001.
