Originally released in May 1971, Weather Report was the debut album by the group of the same name. The album was reissued by Columbia Records in 1992. The album was digitally remastered by Vic Anesini in November 1991 at Sony Music Studios in New York City, and then released again under the Sony International label. The style of music on this album can be described as avant-garde jazz with electric instruments. It continues the style of Miles Davis album Bitches Brew (on which Zawinul and Shorter played) but in a more ambient setting.

Heavy Weather is the seventh album by Weather Report, released in 1977 through Columbia Records. The release originally sold about 500,000 copies; it would prove to be the band's most commercially successful album. Heavy Weather received a 5-star review from Down Beat magazine and went on to be voted jazz album of the year by the readers of that publication.
Featuring the jazz standard "Birdland", the album is one of the best-sellers in the Columbia jazz catalog. This opening track was a significant commercial success, something not typical of instrumental music. The melody had been performed live by the band as part of "Dr Honoris Causa", which was from Joe Zawinul's eponymous solo album.

"Brown Eyed Girl" is a song by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison. Written by Morrison and recorded in March 1967 for Bang Records owner and producer Bert Berns, it was released as a single in June of the same year on the Bang label, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song spent a total of sixteen weeks on the chart.[1] It featured the Sweet Inspirations singing back-up vocals and is considered to be Van Morrison's signature song. "Brown Eyed Girl" has remained a staple on classic rock radio, and has been covered by hundreds of bands over the decades.

В 1988 г. Джон Зорн создал группу «Naked City» в качестве своей «композиционной мастерской» («compositional workshop») для исследования музыкальных возможностей стандартного рок-н-ролльного ансамбля (саксофон, бас, гитара, клавишные, барабаны). Высочайший уровень музыкантов-участников ансамбля позволял им без труда играть в любом известном на тот момент стиле. В музыке группы встречаются элементы таких стилей, как джаз, грайндкор, сёрф-рок, классическая музыка, метал, кантри, панк, и многих других. Стилистика группы менялась от альбома к альбому.
