Weather Report was an American jazz fusion band of the 1970s and early 1980s, which was led by the Austrian-born keyboard player Joe Zawinul. On 1973’s Sweetnighter, Weather Report began to abandon the primarily acoustic group improvisation format, and the band started to take a new direction. They became more jazz funk- and groove-oriented, drawing more heavily on R&B influences and dense electric keyboard work while adding more structure to both the prewritten and the improvisational sections. Zawinul has called “Boogie Woogie Waltz” “A hip-hop in 3: There is an introduction, an interlude and a dance at the end. And in between, everything is free.”
