Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
創立者の1人だったミロスラフ・ヴィトウス（B）は、実質的リーダーのジョー・ザヴィヌル（Key）との音楽的見解の食い違いで脱退。その後ジャコ・パストリアス（B）が加わり、ポップでファンキーな資質を前面に出したザヴィヌル色が強くなった。ヴィトウスの影響が強かった、スペイシーでエレクトリックフリーなバンド初期の評価も依然として高い。だが人気では、ジャコの参加したこの時期にピークを迎えた。その意味で、本盤が最も人気の高いアルバムといえる。
ザヴィヌルの代表作でもあるポップな<1>は、マンハッタン・トランスファーがカバーした、ポップスファンにもウケる曲だ。フレットレスベースがたまらなく美しく響く、<2>。天才ジャコのベースプレイが堪能できる<3>は、マーカス・ミラー（B）もカバーしている。
本作発表当時、バンドとしては過渡期であり、ザヴィヌルとジャコを中心に、いよいよ音楽的全盛期を迎えた。その第1歩を示すアルバムだ。（高木宏真）

From Amazon.com
Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter didn't truly fulfill Weather Report's artistic and commercial potential until they brought on-board a bassist who could function as an equal partner in the musical equation, like co-founder Miroslav Vitous, whose main shortcoming was his inability to play funk. In renegade bassist Jaco Pastorius, the band found a formidable composer and improvisor, who possessed deep roots in funk and R&B, yet was equally at home in modern jazz and Afro-Cuban settings. Not coincidentally, the presence of this innovative fretless bassist on Heavy Weather gave Weather Report the rhythmic/melodic dimension it had been missing since Vitous's departure, as evidenced by his voice-like declamations on Zawinul's ballad "A Remark You Made." On Zawinul's chart-topping, big band-styled arrangement of "Birdland," Pastorius provided the kind of big, sweeping orchestral gestures the tune required, while on the shifting canvas of Wayne Shorter's "Harlequin," the bassist's ability to articulate complex chords allowed him to function as a string section unto himself. And on his own "Havona," Pastorius not only soloed with horn-like artistry, but combined with drummer Alex Acuna and percussionist Manolo Badrena to give Weather Report its funkiest rhythm section ever. --Chip Stern
