Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in January 1986, 'This Is This!' was Weather Report's final studio album before the band's dissolution later that year. At this point, the band had experienced significant lineup changes, which included the departure of co-founder Wayne Shorter and a shift towards a more commercial sound. The album came after their 1983 release 'Procession', marking a transition as they sought to redefine their identity in the evolving jazz landscape.
