830 - A Jazz Podcast
"8:30...A Jazz Podcast”: The name of the podcast "8:30” comes from the Grammy Award winning album by the legendary Jazz Super Group Weather Report, that defined Jazz Fusion music back in the early 70’s & 80’s. With Joe Zawinul on Keyboards, Wayne Shorter on Saxophones, Jaco Pastorius on Bass, and Peter Erskine on Drums, Weather Report set a high standard of excellence throughout the Jazz World.
