I could not verify a Wayne Shorter album titled Weather Bird in the discographies checked. Weather Bird is better known as Gary Giddins's 2004 jazz book and as a 1928 Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines recording.

Who recorded the famous jazz piece titled Weather Bird?

The famous jazz recording titled Weather Bird was made by Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines in 1928. It is a duet, not a Wayne Shorter large-ensemble piece.

Is Weather Bird related to Wayne Shorter's work with Weather Report?

Wayne Shorter was a member of Weather Report with Joe Zawinul, but their well-known piece is Birdland, not Weather Bird. The listing may be merging those names, so its label and catalog number need checking.

What is Gary Giddins's Weather Bird?

It is the book Weather Bird: Jazz at the Dawn of Its Second Century, published by Oxford University Press in 2004. The book title and the Armstrong-Hines recording are separate sources of the phrase.
