I hope you like that sizzling live version of Teen Town by Weather Report from Live in Tokyo, 1978, with Jaco Pastorius on bass, Joe Zawinul on keyboards, Wayne Shorter on sax, and Peter Erskine on drums.

And Vulfpeck fans will recognize how that tune, Teen Town, was paid homage to in Vulfpeck's song Dean Town.

And before Weather Report was Troy Kingi and a track called Fantasy League from 2023.

And in Troy Kingi news, his tenth album in his Ten Ten Ten series will be debuted at WOMAD Taranaki next March.
