This is a great record.^^^^

One last spin before bed:

There's a record shop near me that sells its used CDs at three for the price of two. It's a nice deal. Today, I snagged three double-disc Sony Japanese pressings from the mid-90s (including the one below). The other two, Miles In Concert and Miles at Fillmore are from the same period. Some wild stuff.

Weather Report
Live In Tokyo
Recorded live (Shibuya Philharmonic Hall, Tokyo) 1972
Released (CBS/Sony Japan LPx2) 1972
Reissued (Sony Japan CD) 1995

Josef Zawinul (acoustic/electric pianos)
Wayne Shorter (soprano/tenor saxophones)
Miroslav Vitouš (bass)
Eric Grávátt (drums)
Dom Um Romão (percussion)

I feel your past pain. Painful even when someone, finding I'm into jazz, asks me why I don't like KG.

I can honestly say I've never been into Kenny G. Not even remotely. I absolutely admit to having a love affair with many types of "Smooth Jazz" in the early 90s. I bounced off of David Sanborn's "Hideaway" album in the 80s and took a swan dive into Smooth Jazz in the early 90s but that only lasted a few years - then I made a 180 back to classic Jazz. Although Sanborn's "Hideaway" was more of a "Hybrid" album to my ears than a plunge into full-blown Smooth Jazz.

When a remote friend says something like, "Ah, you're into Jazz. Do you like Kenny G?"
I just smile and say, "He doesn't play the kind of Jazz I listen to."
And I leave it at that.

Just played this again tonight. I now know what I did not know last time I played it, is that he has been doing bands a long long time. I was surprised he has so much out there in early 1950's maybe even late 1940's. Amazing..

Been listening to jazz my entire life (over 50 years) and this one is new to me. I need to check it out.
