About this album

Tale Spinnin' is one of Weather Report’s finest fusion statements, sharpening the group’s mix of compositional depth, improvisational freedom and rhythmic drive. Released in 1975, it captures the band during a key period with Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter and Miroslav Vitouš shaping music that moved fluidly between jazz, rock and Afro-Latin colour. Pieces such as Man In The Green Shirt and Badia show the album’s gift for memorable themes as well as ensemble interplay, while the writing stays focused and concise rather than merely exploratory. The result helped define Weather Report’s reputation as one of the most inventive and accessible groups in electric jazz.
