Weather Report was a great band that kept evolving and reinventing itself. Some may find this odd, but my favorite two albums are the s/t debut and "Heavy Weather," for very different reasons. More recently, I've been enjoying "Live and Unreleased," a two disc compilation of various live tracks with different incarnations of the band. Among other things, there's a fantastic version of "Teen Town" on it. I think Jaco's writing style (and his playing, obviously) was a nice addition; at that point, they had three great composers on board.
