Released in 2012 by Sony Legacy, The Columbia Albums 1971-1975 is a comprehensive 7-CD box set tracing the foundational formative era of legendary jazz fusion pioneers Weather Report. Led by keyboard titan Joe Zawinul and saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter, this collection gathers the band's essential early output: Weather Report (1971), I Sing the Body Electric (1972), the full 2-CD double album Live in Tokyo (1972), Sweetnighter (1973), Mysterious Traveller (1974), and Tale Spinnin' (1975). Featuring iconic band members such as bassist Miroslav Vitouš, percussionists Airto Moreira and Dom Um Romão, bassist Alphonso Johnson, and drummer Chester Thompson, this box set documents the group's seismic evolution from ambient, open-ended avant-garde soundscapes into funk-infused, groove-heavy world jazz masters, packed with bonus tracks, alternative takes, and rare live recordings.
