Weather Report, The Complete Columbia Albums 1971-1975 [Box Set]

Weather Report -][- The Complete Columbia Albums 1971-1975 -[BOX SET]-

For many, the story of Weather Report begins with the late 1970s albums that featured the addition of electric bassist Jaco Pastorius (as documented on 2011’s box set, Weather Report: The Columbia Albums 1976-1982, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the band’s formation).

Sean Haefeli -][- RISE –Mp3– [Sean Haefeli, 2012] –

Sean Haefeli is a forward-thinking musician, skilled as a pianist, vocalist, lyricist and composer. His music represents a convergence of sensibilities and aesthetics, as jazz, soul, and poetic lyricism intersect, creating a distinctively modern sound.

Throughout his youth, Sean trained as a classical pianist, and later, a vocalist, while primarily listening to hip-hop and r&b. He continued to navigate seemingly disparate worlds, entering Depaul University as an opera major, and graduating with a degree in English literature.

After graduation, he immersed himself in jazz and improvisation, working in a range of performance mediums and styles, while further widening his listening sphere. -[Excerpt | Biography]- Continue reading →
