Wayne Shorter is no longer.

The dude was a legend, but it's hard to forgive him for Weather Report.

I haven’t dove deeply into their catalog, but is there any actually good Weather Report? Did they ever have a Bitches Brew phase? Nothing I’ve heard suggests that they did, but nothing I’ve heard has made me want to investigate, either.

I haven't heard it myself, but have heard the first record is decent. Heavy Weather is one of the worst albums ever, though.

Yeah.. they didn't go from In A Silent Way to funky fretless noodling overnight. Thunderdome to come!

Sorry to hear about David Lindley. In the '80s, he would play solo around Los Angeles a lot, and I tried to go see him whenever I could because his shows were fun and he always had really good people playing with him, and good stories.

Listen to the World Out of Time records he and Henry Kaiser did with local musicians in Madagascar. Really fantastic stuff. They're on Spotify.

I knew he was sick from Tim Kerr's IG. Damn.

That's too bad. He engineered some of the best records ever.
