I strongly suspect that you only wish that everything sounded
just like it did back in the 70s heyday, when Weather Report RULED & Joni
was still SIQUOMB.
I must admit that there are a few times I think Wayne held back,
not wanting to overpower Joni's voice. Yet wasn't this the major
complaint about BSN, that the orchestra overpowered Joni's voice?
& I LOVE the "Catch 22" pun! (22 cuts on T'log).
I just hope that Joni releases Coyote as the B Side of Slouching
Toward Bethlehem.
But I have ALWAYS LOVED Wayne's recordings with Joni ~ esp
Turbulent Indigo (the song & the album).
On T'log Wayne SHINES!!! So does Brian Blade!!!
& I must give overwhelming credit to Larry Klein!!!!!
As a post-70s Joni fan I attribute many of my fave Joni tunes to
major contributions by Shorter & Klein & Blade.
I praise these guys for helping make our beloved SIQUOMB even
more lovely!
