Richly talented Weather Report have released their latest CD titled Night Passage and Wow! It's good.
Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Night Passage. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Night Passage has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.
Night Passage is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Jazz fan.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - Port Of Entry, track 7 - Three Views Of A Secret, and track 8 - Madagascar
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Night Passage. Outstanding!
