Weather Report - Second Sunday In August I've considered this one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created ever since I was a teenager. Couldn't imagine something like this recorded with today's high-fidelity standards, lacking all the distortion and the gorgeous warmth emanating from the bass. Wayne's playing makes it a bit easy-listening / ethnic -sounding perhaps, but it fits the rumbling percussion and the recording medium perfectly.
It is from the "I Sing the Body Electric" album. | |

It is from the "I Sing the Body Electric" album. I fell for this song when I first bought this record. A very beautiful song. Played it on my show a few times too whenever I did a set of music by Weather Report. | |

That sounds cool.
I've toyed with idea of recording the song myself for fun, but then again, it would probably make more sense just to make a similar type of composition yourself than try to copy something that so heavily also relies on the performances. Espiecially with my own modest playing skills... | |
