Mysterious Traveler: The Music of the Weather Report is a tribute performance dedicated to the music of Weather Report, the influential jazz fusion ensemble active from 1970-1985. Founded by Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, the band was known for its innovative approach, blending jazz with elements of rock, funk, Latin, and world music. The program includes selections from across the band’s catalog, including music from the album Heavy Weather, which features “Birdland”, later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. During the mid 1970’s after Jaco Pastorius joined the group, the bands’ live performances became events, as their music drew in both serious listeners and non-jazz fans alike.
This ensemble includes Scott Ambush and Chris Fischer, both original members of Spyro Gyra. They are joined by Al Williams III, Deren Blessman, and Eddie Montalvo, musicians whose background includes work with artists such as Stanley Clarke, Gregg Karukas, and Christian de Mesones.
