So what was Wayne Shorter up to, post 2nd great quintet? Here's "Black Market," from Weather Report's 1976 album of the same title.

Daily #SteveKimock. Thanks to long time taper Dr. Bob, here’s a nice video playlist of #JazzIsDead from a few weeks ago. Love the reunion of Steve and #AlphonsoJohnson. Steve tells the story of being in the middle of a long #improvisation section with him. At one point he thinks yo himself “huh, this kind of sounds like Weather Report.” Then he looks over, “oh, right.”

This past Saturday night, I saw Jazz is Dead at Hamilton Live in Washington DC. Great show, great players, reasonably good sounding venue.
Here's a compilation of some videos I took at the show.
