Weather Report: Elegant People, Live (1976)

by Corey Brown | Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Recorded live on July 8, 1976 at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, and shortly after bassist Jaco Pastorius joined the group, here’s Weather Report performing “Elegant People”.

The tune, written by Wayne Shorter, appeared on Black Market and was recorded with bassist Alphonso Johnson.

The line up also includes Weather Report co-founder Joe Zawinul on keys, Alex Acuna on drums and Manolo Badrena on percussion.

Good stuff!

I have one Weather Report album. I went to the record store to get an album from some band I had just heard but couldn’t remember the name of the group. Liked the album but the group I was looking for was Traffic. That’s how my mind works.
