Massimo Colombo, Maurizio Quintavalle, Enzo Zirilli: Acoustic Weather (The Music of Weather Report)
In tutto otto brani tratti da quattro importanti album della band americana pubblicati tra il 1976 ed il 1985: Black Market ("Black Market," "Elegant People"), Heavy Weather ("A Remark You Made," "Teen Town," "Palladium"), Mr. Gone ("Punk Jazz," "Pinocchio") e Sportin' Life ("Face on the Barrom Floor"). Anche in questo caso il lavoro brilla per rigore, tecnica, eleganza e capacità di andare all'essenza delle composizioni dei Bollettino Meteorologico. Il tutto senza strafare o eccedere in sterili virtuosismi, ma attraverso un rispettoso lavoro di ri-elaborazione e di semplificazione acustica.
Una "rilettura" di matrice minimalista che piacerà sia a chi ha amato l'arte compositiva di Joe Zawinul o di Wayne Shorter perché potrà riscoprirne l'anima tematica più profonda, sia a chi per la prima si avvicina alla musica della band.
Tra le tracce più riuscite dell'album, la brillante rivisitazione della ballad "A Remark You Made" di Joe Zawinul.
