Sweetnighter is Weather Report's third album, released in 1973. A very different sound than previous releases, this marks the beginning of a more mature sound for Weather Report. Originally, Weather Report was almost completely an improvisatory band. Though the improvising is ever present, the music is more structured than previously seen.
