  • Jaco Pastorius, is my favorite bassist of all time, and was light years ahead of his time, the whole "weather report" experience, helped shaped my appreciation for all forms of music.

  • Groovy virtuosity, yes, but the main point might be that this sound is so full of life. Another reason why they became immortal.

    Feel free to check out my jazz blog, if you like -- for link see my profile.

    Thanks so much. Cheers, Brewster

  • A true jazz and R&B super group. They had a great run with many players coming and going, adding different elements to their mix of genres and sounds.

  • When is this performance... 1979?

  • It does't get much better than this. Jaco is from another planet!

  • Wayne always looks like he's in a sauna. Please someone get him a fan.

  • This song needs more cowbell! Oh wait...

  • the triplets on bass at 2:41...amazing

  • @drewper73 Here's a smile, although a shy one, but hey they are here to jam :D

  • Is it me or does Wayne Shorter look mad/bored/indifferent or what? How 'bout a smile Wayne?

  • @tubricant I commented on another Weather Report video about how Alex Acuna's playing on the drumset is unlike any other drummer that I know of. When u take a guy from Peru who usually plays Afro-Cuban style percussion & put him behind the drums you get something very unique in my opinion. As far as I know he doesn't play the kit much at all. On the other comment I mentioned his playing on the song Harlequin. From about 2:56 to the end it's drumming like I've never heard elsewhere. Luv Erskine 2

  • When I hear that train, I know that funky bass line isn't far behind!
