In mid-1976, Williams was a part of a reunion of sorts with his old Miles Davis band compatriots, pianist / keyboardist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter.

The band was co-led by the Austrian-born keyboard player Joe Zawinul and the American saxophonist Wayne Shorter ( and, initially, by Czech bass player Miroslav Vitouš ).

During his time with Weather Report, Shorter was noted for generally playing saxophone with an economical, " listening " style.

Zawinul and Shorter recruited another Miles Davis associate, the classically-trained Czech-born bass player Miroslav Vitouš, who'd previously played with Zawinul as well as with Herbie Mann, Bob Brookmeyer, Stan Getz and Chick Corea ( Vitous has subsequently claimed that it was in fact Shorter and himself that founded Weather Report, with Shorter bringing in Zawinul afterwards.

The first side featured new studio recordings, while the second side was taken from live recordings of a concert in Tokyo, Japan, featuring the full band lineup of Zawinul, Shorter, Vitouš, Gravatt and Um Romão ( and later available in full as the Japan-only double album Live in Tokyo ).

Recruited by Shorter, Johnson was a supple player more than capable of providing the funk element which Zawinul desired.

" Shorter had been focusing most of his attention and compositional ideas into his solo work, while Zawinul was sketching out ideas for a solo album of his own which involved moving away from a raw group sound in favor of constructing a far more orchestrated and experimental studio-based recording with multiple overdubs.

By now Weather Report was a quartet of Zawinul, Shorter, Pastorius and Erskine and ( for the first time ) had dispensed with the auxiliary percussionist role which had been integral since the band's inception.

In the event, Shorter resolved his major differences with his bandmates-but the near-split appeared to inform Weather Report's next development, which was a step back towards a purer jazz approach.

Shorter ( who only contributed one whole composition to the 1982 album beyond group-written work ) was already taking a more philosophical approach.

Critics noted that Shorter seemed more suited to this album than he had to its predecessor, contributing more ; and the album was praised for its energetic compositions.

Significantly, Shorter spent little more time on the project than Bailey or Cinelu, contributed no compositions at all, and was not even present on many of the album's tracks: Zawinul attempted to compensate for this by bringing in guitarist Carlos Santana to contribute.

By February 1986, Weather Report was over, a fact confirmed by a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune announcing that Shorter had left the band to concentrate on solo work.

The nearest that the band ever came to reuniting was when Zawinul and Shorter both played live with Miles Davis on July 10 1991 in Paris ( the only time when Zawinul is known to have shared a live stage with Davis ).

Shorter than an emu, but heavier and solidly built, cassowaries prefer thickly vegetated tropical forest.

It built on the avant-garde experiments which Zawinul and Shorter had pioneered with Miles Davis on Bitches Brew, including an avoidance of head-and-chorus composition in favor of continuous rhythm and movement ) but taking the music further.
