“The band just came out and killed.” Įxplaining the circumstances leading up to the album, Erskine told Zawinul biographer Brian Glasser, “The Weather Report album to me was a very big stepping stone to where Joe eventually wound up going. “It was a late afternoon set, and we tore the place apart,” Peter Erskine recalled. Recorded at the Power Station in New York in the summer of 1981, most of the music had been played during the band’s spring tour, capped by a triumphant performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival in Los Angeles in June. Weather Report was the last album for the Pastorius-Erskine rhythm section. Now we’ve got a band and it’s going to be for a while, I guarantee it.” Zawinul had no way of knowing it at the time, but by year’s end he and Shorter would be starting over. Jaco’s bass is his own sound, his own personality. You see, the secret of having a great band and being able to write great is to be able to write for the people you play with, because everyone has a different sound. If someone couldn’t handle it, he could never be in this band. “There are very few of us to run around, I guarantee you. “Good musicians are a luxury, but it is something you have to find,” he said.
In an interview published in January 1981, Joe Zawinul talked about the difficulty of putting together a good band.
