Nostalgia In Grand Place : The Weather Report • TRIBUTE

As part of the Nostalgia in Grand Place series, Arnaud Guichard pays tribute to one of the most visionary groups in the history of jazz: Weather Report.
Founded in the early 1970s by Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, and later shaped by the unforgettable presence of musicians such as Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report redefined the boundaries of modern jazz. At the crossroads of improvisation, funk, world music and electric textures, the group forged a unique sonic universe — free, refined and instantly recognisable.
With landmark pieces such as Birdland, Teen Town, Black Market and A Remark You Made, Weather Report opened up a singular path — a jazz of movement, colour and landscape, where harmonic sophistication meets rhythmic energy and a profound sense of space.
Through this programme, Arnaud Guichard explores that legacy with both respect and freedom, rediscovering the spirit of a music in which listening, pulse and sonic exploration take centre stage.
A return to a time when jazz became travel, texture and vision.
