The exceptionally talented Jazz group Weather Report have released their CD entitled 830. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Weather Report fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of 830 their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

Weather Report have been a super stars in the Jazz genre for quite some time now and 830 is an excellent illustration as to why.

Weather Report is one of those groups that have the ability to just bowl you over with their collective talent. The kind of musicians it’s really a treat to be able to listen to.

830 is a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall 830 is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - A Remark You Made, track 5 - In A Silent Way, and track 12 - Sightseeing

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Black Market. This is a great track!
