Wayne Shorter came out alone and smoked the place for about 15 minutes unaccompanied. The Jaco solo was his deal with Portrait of Tracy and Third Rock from teh Sun mixed together. They were playing all of the Heavy Weather material.

Weather Report was one of my main door openers into jazz. Loved them. Remember I was driving bus as a student and had them on the stereo in the bus, only in the front and on a low volum one Saturday night. A slightly elderly passenger gave the thumbs up and a "Good taste, son" when exiting. Then I knew I was on the right track😄

Each of those four players are phenomenal and have their own unique styles; with that said, I think I've never been more impressed by any bass player than when I've heard Richard Bona not only soloing at a hyperspeed, but also SCATTING along with his playing. A few years have passed since I've first seen it, but it remains one of my favourite bass videos of all time

I absolutely love how you did this Jeff by showcasing each different take on this classic. I have always regarded Heavy Weather to be the very best record I have ever owned and truly believe it should be a MUST in any collection. It always pains me to think of what we lost with Jaco's passing but his legacy is undeniable as so skillfully demonstrated by your choices today. His work on Joni Mitchell's Don Juan's reckless Daughter or the Mingus tribute is first class. His playing is instantly recognizable, innovative and unique and that in itself is greatness! Genius!!

It's easy to overlook the fact that while Manring was a student of Jaco's, he didn't become a carbon copy. He actually went on to innovate the instrument even further by co-creating the Hyperbass w/ Joe Zon and turning it into a truly solo instrument. So, while I love his version of 'Teen Town', it really doesn't showcase what separates him from all the other traditional players, how he pioneered bass playing and, imho, what makes his contribution a highly important moment in music history. Don't believe me? Check out 'Adhan' from his album 'Thonk' where he uses an ebow or really showcases his alternate tuning on the fly with 'The Enormous Room'. To me, Michael Manring really doesn't get the credit he deserves...
