Weather Report is Jaco playing. Stanley was the first Bass-centric dude I got into with If this Bass could Talk but Im more Marcus Miller and Louis Johnson and obviously Larry Graham, than Stanley

Jaco's Teen Town has always been one of my favorites. I saw Jaco back in the late 70's with Herbie Hancock and Billy Cobham....it was really a treat.

Great song. Very different than a lot of the other music coming out at the time. Holds up very well to my ears.
