It's weird. The two times I saw Weather Report live, Miroslav Vitous was the bassist before Jaco and Victor Bailey afterwards. The one time I saw Jaco, his band, it was so loud I had to leave.
One of my favorite Jaco solos is on an Airto Moreira album, I'm Fine, How Are You?. The tune is Nativity. Real dreamy. If you don't have it, git it.

I might have to find that title- thanks!
My favorite "Jaco era" is his early works pre- WR. Pat Methany's "Bright Size Life" album, while somewhat of a stunted performance compared to he and Jaco live, has some of the most sensitive playing of Jaco's career, IMHO. He isn't showboating, doing crazy things (literally!) or trying to run/ruin Methany's gig- just being a solid backer with the ability to take a solo when asked. That is the Jaco I truly miss!
BTW, when you saw his band (assuming some version of Word of Mouth?), was this during the 80's in NYC or Lauderdale? He was well on his (unfortunate) self-destructive way by this point!

Saw him in the 80's, Word of Mouth, in Houston.
The Airto is from 1977. The LP is probably cheaper than the CD (on ebay).
