          I bought my first decent stereo system in the summer of 1978. One of the first albums I bought for it was Heavy Weather. It was my first real exploration into Jazz/Fusion. This song introduced me to Wayne Shorter. It took me years to realize that he was the sax soloist on Aja

            Footprints in 1967 (Shorter is the tenor sax). Just four (sorry, Herbie) musical geniuses at work.

            IINM there are no mode changes in this piece but it is still as completely free of all cliche and repetition as anything Coltrane ever dreamed up. This is an incredible example of making almost impossible music, on the spot, without relying on any crutches.

              Me too, but I give us both a break because the solo on Aja doesn't really sound like him. It has his lyricism but it has so much more structure than his usual work.

                And also from the music world, David Lindley. Probably best known for his work with Jackson Browne.

                    Lots of structure in a Becker & Fagen tune? Who would have guessed

                                Yes but I would have killed to have had Zero in that role, as he was on Broadway.
