Dream clock (Zawinul) Zawinul told Melody Maker how the Weather Report performances varied from one another while remaining rooted in a foundation. "The progressions will change every day, the chords will change every day, but there are certain things that will only change in expression rather than in the actual wording of it. By that I mean the actual notes being used. You listen to 'Dream Clock.' The melody will never be changed but the expression of it will be different every day, and the chords will be different. And that's what keeps us being very successful, because people can feel the reality of it every day." Peter Erskine recorded another version of "Dream Clock" on his 1988 album Motion Poet, using an arrangement by Vince Mendoza and a 12-piece horn section. |
