When I was first played this album, by a friend at school way back in the Seventies, I shut myself in his room and replayed it at least half a dozen times! I think my friends thought me a bit mad, but I had never heard such a completely integrated sound, delivered in such a professional way before. It was this record that prompted me to explore the avenues of Jazz/Rock, leading me to others of the genre such as Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke and Billy Cobham to name but a few.
Chester Thompson and Narada Michael Walden, together with two percussionists, provide a solid foundation augmented by Alphonso Johnson and the inimitable Jaco Pastorius on bass. Wayne Shorter's mournful saxophone provides the lead and the whole thing is brought together by the masterful Joe Zawinul on keyboards and effects. Individually, the musicianship is undeniably brilliant, but the combined effect is nothing short of astonishing. While the earlier Tale Spinnin' had a more ebullient Caribbean flavour, Black Market has more of a Mediterranean feel to it - heavier and more powerful, with eastern overtones. Unequivocally recommended!

Not as easy listening as their follow up, the highly successful 'Heavy Weather' AND more compositional and less jam heavy than their earlier 'Mysterious Traveller' album, this album's music is the perfect balance between burning organic fluid improvisation and structured balanced composition. To my mind it is the best Weather Report album and the one I would recommend to first time listeners.

This is my fave Weather report album; and a great introduction to the band if you don't know them. "Black Market" finds the band at their most colourful, with the late Joe Zawinul's distinctive synth sound unashamedly splashed across their sonic canvas and two bass legends (Pastorius and Alphonso Johnson) sharing low end duties. The Portishead-sampled "elegant people" leans towards their cheesier side but the closing cut "Herandnu" pulls everything back in line. More accessible than "Mysterious Traveller" (their other great album in my opinion) but without the big slices of cheese present on their biggest hit "Heavy Weather." New to weather report? Start here...

Black Market is what I consider to be one of the best Weather Report albums. It never diminishes with the years, it's always exciting, and current.

Over produced
I really can't agree with the reviews of most of the Weather Report releases, but I disagree with these more than most!

A genuine fusion classic.
By the time Shorter and Zawinul's Weather Report recorded this, their 6th studio album, fusion as a genre had reached its high water mark and was beginning to ebb or dilute itself. Read more
