@machinate i completely..... disagree

@Dionysosable I agree. Procession is bloody brilliant.

i can t stop tripping when listening to this song

Procession was the hipest Weather Report Record they made!! it Was my first , and it totaly blew me away. Omar Hakim was my great inspiration as a drummer , boy his drumming here is so alive and kickin´ , and full of idears and invention. And the record is great recorded also. Great compositions too. Love this tune too!! Long Live Weather Report.

@machinate i'm with you 100% . i top it all off with Alphonso Johnson with this Band .

@aspirenow good grief. you are correct, this person doesn't know what he's talking about. Clarke was around playing the Pharaoh Sanders even before he landed in Corea's band. Clarke can also play the big bass too, not just the electric. Jaco was great but he's also a pop personality and people who aren't in the know can write some silly things about pop personalities.

@myleftnutts I don't think that's true. Mysterious Traveler was a million seller and Grammy winner wasn't it? I worked in a record store at the time and we sold a lot of copies of Mysterious Traveler and Sweetnighter for that matter - and that was little ol' Colorado Springs. Jaco was great and I agree that he did help open up the younger audience even more so but these cats were making a lot more money than your typical jazz musicians prior to Jaco. I know they did RedRocks in the early 70's.

Sadly, what I feel now is that I would have been worthier on earth if I could have give my years of living to randomly : Schubert, Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker. I don't feel depressed though, but... Isn't that the crual truth ?
Sometimes behind the beat, sometimes ahead. Sometimes on point, sometimes tangential. Sometimes call, sometimes response. And just when you think it's lost the plot...it sneaks back and hits you straight between the eyes. One of the great basslines. Thank you.

I love Jaco with all my heart... as an instrumentalist, and as a composer, but NEVER as part of a band. Bailey and Vitous rocked my world with their groundedness much more than the hyperbolic, yet aloof mid-range of Jaco.
