For Weather Report’s fourteenth album, the line-up remained the same as the previous two albums except for percussion, where Mino Cinélu replaced José Rossy. Born in Martinique in 1957 and raised in France, Cinélu played in a band with his brothers before moving to New York in 1979, where he led his own band, the Mino Cinélu Ensemble. In 1981 he jo...
1. Corner Pocket (Zawinul) 5:43
While much of Sportin’ Life was conceived and sequenced in Zawinul’s home, Zawinul told Woodard that this tune was a studio effort. [Mus85]
2. Indiscretions (Zawinul) 4:03
Zawinul said this tune “was done at home, but I had overdubbed Omar and Mino, just boom, boom, boom, to get the wide bass drum overdub sound.” [Mus85] Zawinul continued to play “Indiscretions” live at least into the late 1990s, and it can be heard on the Zawinul Syndicate album World Tour.
3. Hot Cargo (Zawinul) 4:38
Of “Hot Cargo,” Zawinul said “I did [it] totally at home in one shot with MIDI. Wayne overdubbed the melody. Mino overdubbing on that solo part. I had three voices singing on that at the end.” [Mus85]
5. Pearl On The Half-Shell (Shorter) 4:04
Woodard asked Shorter how he conceived “Pearl On The Half-Shell:”
6. What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye) 6:26
Asked if this was a tribute to Marvin Gaye, Zawinul responded: In a 1997 article for Jazziz, Josef Woodard recalled Zawinul warming up for a rehearsal in his home studio by dipping “into a bronze-colored reading of ‘What’s Going On.'” “[Gaye] was my favorite pop musician,” Zawinul told Woodard. “There’s a point where you have to say, ‘I’m going to do my own thing, thank you very much, sir,’ and that’s what Marvin Gaye did.” [JI97]
7. Face On The Barroom Floor (Shorter) 3:55
In 2005, Hal Miller elicited this comment from Shorter about this song: “Well, it’s that old Broadway play. I thought the title was kind of picturesque — it kind of snaps you back to the way that people are concerned with themselves, and having a good time. But even though you’re in a place where you’re raising a lot of hell and having a good time, there’s something there that takes you away from yourself, and you wonder about the story that’s in this place because something’s out of place. F...
