I named my dog 'Jaco'.
Please, Bill, anything with Jaco in it is OK by me!

Top 40 jazz.
If Clear Channel played jazz, this would be in heavy rotation.

Okay, maybe it's not Acuna. It's still fast. |

1977 - keep that in mind as a release date so it was probably recorded in '75 or '76. Pretty heady stuff for the era.

That accounts for my sudden desire to watch "Barney Miller." Whose theme song was 100 times better than this, by the way. Mushy mushy mushy! |

Adding to the chorus: THANKS B & R!!!!! And any period WR is welcome. They were a unit for over a decade in the 70s and 80s. Their music really delights the limbic system! My fave from this album- "The Juggler."

But! I'm gonna say it - let's dig deeper into the Weather Report catalog. Birdland is safe, but there's a whole lot more.
Oh yes.
Black Market is a must own.
