The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra comes back to Aberdeen as part of The Weather Report tour on Saturday 27 September at 7.30pm (sanctuary at Fountainhall Church at the Cross, Albyn Place).
Born in the seventies, Weather Report was the most vital and innovative band in jazz, fusing instantly memorable melodies, infectious grooves, and brilliant improvisation with the drive of rock and the rich textures of world music.
Featuring Alyn Cosker, Scotland’s National Jazz Orchestra forecasts a rekindling of that electrifying spirit with a concert not of retrospection, but of renewal – a reimagining of Weather Report’s musical climate, with favourite tunes – including Birdland, the Badia/Boogie Woogie Waltz, and Teen Town – given life through collaboration between the SNJO and contemporary jazz arrangers.
