Description
One of the founders of Weather Report celebrates the creative spirit of that famous and influential group in a blazingly inventive recording.Miroslav Vitous was one of the founders of Weather Report and helped to shape its early (and revolutionary) mix of enigmatic, free-flowing compositions and high-level improvisational dialogues, in which all the instruments enjoyed parity. It is this formative period that Miroslav salutes with his all-acoustic band and some phenomenal playing.
The obvious musical empathy between Vitous and drummer Gerald Cleaver is a joy, Ambrosetti and Campbell contribute inspired solos - as does legendary guest Michel Portal, another iconic figure in the history of the music, on bass clarinet. Material, almost exclusively from Vitous's pen, alludes to Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti" and to Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" - as well as to Miles Davis and AntonÃn Dvorák, and also pays tribute to Jow Zawinul.
The Czech bassist had huge critical and popular success with his last two albums for ECM, 'Universal Syncopations' and 'Universal Syncopations II'.
Personnel: Miroslav Vitous (double-bass), Franco Ambrosetti (trumpet), Gary Campbell (tenor saxophone), Gerald Cleaver (drums), Michel Portal (bass clarinet)
