A good concert rather than a great one. Some very talented people involved in re-arranging the work of Zawinul, Shorter and Pastorius for a big band. Some excellent playing as you would expect from SNJO, but overall didn't quite work for me. What makes the originals so great are the three supreme writing and playing talents that were the driving force of Weather Report at their peak.
