Mr. Gone is a 1978 album by Weather Report, showcasing the band’s fusion of jazz, funk, and electronic textures. Featuring Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, and Peter Erskine, the record leans heavily into synthesizers and groove-driven arrangements, with tracks like The Pursuit of the Woman with the Feathered Hat and River People highlighting the group’s experimental direction. Though it drew mixed reviews upon release, the album stands as a bold statement of Weather Report’s evolving sound during the late 70s.
