Album Notes & Community Reviews

Benefiting from Leon Ndugu Chancler's deeply pocketed drum grooves, 'Tale Spinnin'' steers Weather Report toward a more accessible, funk-oriented direction. Wayne Shorter's lyrical soprano saxophone and Joe Zawinul's burgeoning synthesizer mastery create a vibrant, globally-inflected fusion landscape.
