Heavy Weather

About the artist

Heavy Weather is a jazz fusion band known for their commercially successful album "Heavy Weather," released in 1977. The band's lineup for the album featured Joe Zawinul on keyboards and synthesizers, Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Jaco Pastorius on bass, Alex Acuña on drums, and Manolo Badrena on percussion. The album is celebrated for its blend of jazz-rock, fusion, and pop, appealing to both serious jazz enthusiasts and a wider audience. The album includes the hit song "Birdland," which became a jazz standard. I was not able to find any recent news or endeavors for Heavy Weather, since the band dissolved in 1986.
