Listener Reviews & Comments
This album starts out promisingly via Zawinul's CORNER POCKET, with its trademark third-world theme and a quartet of vocalists including Bobby McFerrin. However, from there the results do not compare favorably with WR's best work. INDISCRETIONS offers a mid-slow groove and little else of interest, and while Cinelu's CONFIANS is a fine feature for its composer, it lacks any distinction as a Weather Report vehicle. Outside of some fine work behind Cinelu on CONFIANS and on his own FACE ON THE BARROOM FLOOR, Shorter's contributions are negligible, living down to the cliche that he is present in name only during this era, and McFerrin's appearance is hardly a vocal showcase. Marvin Gaye's WHAT'S GOING ON is an intriguing choice, yet Zawinul and Shorter rarely take command of the melody, leaving somewhat of a sterile emotive atmosphere that negates its other interpretive benefits. Pass on this one unless you're a completist.
