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:

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).
