The drummer is great as well, but it's all about Squarepusher:

Weather Report is one of my favorite bands. The bass player before Jaco was also badass: Alphonso Johnson. Here is one tune from Mysterious Traveller, an excellent album:

Joe Zawinul on the synthesizers and keys is also a badass.

Here is another cut from that record. This pic has Jaco in it, but the bass player in this tune is Alphonso. Listen to that bassline.

One more, a classic joint from 1973:

Someone clearly wanted to be the lead guitarist but drew the short straw

Classic Jaco, Teen Town from the Heavy Weather LP:

Jaco also played the drums on this cut, he was a highly skilled drummer but a wrist injury made him switch to bass (and we're thankful he did, no other bassist has played like Jaco before or since).
