Imitation Weather Report.

[believer06]

@bapyou Im pretty sure Chick's been around longer than Weather Report.

[SlikkTim]

@believer06 Joe Zawinul and Shorter been around WAY longer than corea man. Do your homework. And I'm 100% with bapyou, electrik band is like Weather Report with all the mid 70s funkyness and latin music replaced with late 80s cold-ass jazz fusion schools attitude.

[believer06]

@SlikkTim Weather Report came out in 1970. Chick was putting out music since 1966. Thats all im saying. Anyway, both Chick and Weather Report cranked out great music. I doubt highly either would steal ideas from the other on purpose. Both were consistantly good for quite a few years.

@bapyou well in Jazz, we imitate -- err no, I mean in music we learn from each other.

[believer06]

@r3ck0rd Right on. To this day, Im stumbling across old tunes from influences of mine which i havent heard in ages which have elements of my style in them. i did not deliberately take anything from them intentionally and ever claim I had been the one who came up wih the riffs, techniques and whatnot. They just became a part of my style. To just an average listener of my music, they probably wouldnt even notice. Anyway, Im sure this goes for all musicians. No one is 100% original.

Can you imagine this video clip being shown on MTV these days? In between such highly accomplished musical geniuses as Eminem, and let's not forget the ever awesome Nickelback.

[SonAnd4]

I must admit that I cannot imagine this being shown on MTV, nor can I imagine MTV actually beginning to play music :p

@bapyou I wouldn't count Spyro Gyra as a fusion band. They sound like a wedding band to me.

@happystance9able

Completely agree - this has an "edge" and a power to it that I've never heard from WR.

[happystance9able]

Honestly, this music works better for me than anything I've heard by Weather Report.

[juanbarros88]

this may not mean anything but Wayne and Joe were born in 1933 and 1932 . Chick was born almost 10 yrs later

[juanbarros88]

Chick Corea as a solo artist has been around longer than Wayne and Zawinul as the GROUP Weather Report. Joe Zawinul and Wayne as solo artist have been or were (joe's case) around long before than Chick Corea. It's that easy, I think. Weather Report and Return to forever are simply contemporary.

[bapyou]

@thegerrie19561 Yes, Chick is a great musician. This particular piece is imitation Weather Report however.

But it's alright: many of the fusion groups of the 70s/80s were imitation Weather Report; Spyro Gyra being the mosty egregious and awful example of the trend.

Weather Report were a cut above the entire crowd because of the great compositional depth of Zawinul, Shorter and a top-shelf youngblood like Pastorious. Z and S were around since the 40s. That band had mad soul.

[thegerrie19561]

@bapyou How can you say that. Chick is a great composer, making music, maybe before you were born. MAYBE YOU WILL SEE THE LIGHT ONCE!
