Chicago drummer and composer Jeremy Cunningham crafted The Weather Up There as a deeply personal response to the loss of his brother Andrew, who was killed in a 2008 home invasion. Released in 2020 on Northern Spy Records, the album stands as one of Cunningham's most emotionally significant works — a sonically rich and cathartic exploration of grief, memory, and love.
Anchored by Cunningham's expressive drumming and compositional vision, the album draws on a remarkable ensemble that includes Jeff Parker on electric guitar, Josh Johnson on saxophone and bass clarinet, and guests such as Jaimie Branch and Ben LaMar Gay. The music weaves together jazz, rock-inflected grooves, and intimate audio interviews to create something deeply human — an album that processes profound loss through sound with both restraint and raw emotional honesty.
