Weather Report was an American jazz fusion band that had a successful career from 1970 to 1986. Known for their innovative and groundbreaking music, they were pioneers in the fusion genre. Their unique sound blended elements of jazz, rock, funk, and world music, creating a captivating and dynamic musical experience.

During their time together, Weather Report released numerous critically acclaimed albums and gained a dedicated fan base worldwide. The band consisted of exceptionally talented musicians who pushed the boundaries of traditional jazz with their experimental compositions and improvisations.

Influenced by artists such as Return To Forever, Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorius, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and many others from the jazz fusion scene at the time; Weather Report created a distinct style that set them apart from their contemporaries. With complex rhythms, intricate melodies, and virtuosic solos, they captivated audiences with their mesmerizing performances.

The Columbia Albums 1976-1982 anthologizes the Jaco Pastorius era of Weather Report. Black Market (1976), Heavy Weather (1977), Mr. Gone (1978), 8:30 (1979), Night Passage (1980) and Weather Report (1982) are packaged in Clamshell Box with wallets. Each disc features reproduced front and back artwork. As detailed by liner notes author Richard Seidel, the box contains 12 bonus tracks, including all the cuts from the 2002 compilation Live and Unreleased that feature Pastorius, as well as material from the 1979 Havana Jam.
