Jaco Pastorius: Weather Report or solo?

Which do you prefer.
I used to like his Weather Report stuff better but i bought his debut solo album today and it blew my mind.

Seriously while i was listening to Kuru/Speak Like A Child my brains splattered all over the wall.

solo

I haven't heard of him... mind you I'm only a rookie jazz fan.... let me sample both and I'll let you know what I think

I prefer his stuff with Weather Report, now sadly Joe Zawinul's departed us too.
Funnily enough, I was listening to '8:30' earlier today!

I prefer all the contribution of the late great Jaco Pastorius no matter it he's solo or with the band Weather Report, and that is a nice song Kuru\Speak Like A Child. Check out his Word Of Mouth Big Band CD.

I always loved him with Weather Report, and I loved his "Word Of Mouth" big band album even more than his Weather Report music. However, every time I hear him play "Portrait of Tracy" from his "Jaco" album, I have to say my preference is "solo".
