Song 509 ( Weather Report - Teen Town )



This is more of a rocker from the Fusion-Jazz band Weather Report from the pen of Jaco Pastorius. For that reason it is one of the songs on this album that showcases his bass playing a lot. Oddly enough, with that being said, my favorite version of this song was a Marcus Miller cover of the song, which can be found here on YouTube.
One of the aspects that I like the most about this song is how Joe Zawinul plays the same melody as Jaco on the synthesizer, which makes a neat chorus effect.

Hear the studio version of Teen Town on YouTube.
Here is a live performance from '77 on YouTube.
Here is an excellent live version from '78 on YouTube.
