Mysterious Traveller is the fifth album of Weather Report released in 1974. This album marked the end of bassist Miroslav Vitouš's tenure with the band. Vitouš was replaced by Alphonso Johnson. Another addition to the line-up is drummer Ishmael Wilburn. Greg Errico was the drummer for the tour between the previously released Sweetnighter and this album, but declined an invitation to be a permanent member of the band.

The record is generally considered[by whom?] to be the band's first that predominantly uses electric bass and incorporates liberal uses of funk, R&B grooves, and rock that would later be hallmarked as the band's "signature" sound. Also, the more restricted compositional format became evident on this album, replacing the more "open improvisation" formats used on the first 3 albums. It was voted as the album of the year by the readers of Down Beat for 1974, garnering their 2nd overall win in that category. Some[who?] consider this to be the band's best overall compositional effort.

The album peaked number two in the Jazz albums chart, number 46 in the Billboard 200 chart and 31 in the R&B album chart.[5]"

I saw Zappa Plays Zappa last night in Arcata, CA.  They played two hours late (starting 'round 10pm) 'cuz the 101 was shut down for an accident.  My seat got "upgraded" to near-front row since people abandoned their spots.  Of course I waited for them to go on! Frank Zappa is a hero of mine, one of the least recognized and most accomplished composers of the 20th century.  He produced an incredible amount of material in a short amount of time, and unfortunately passed away a little before that bastard Nixon.  His Son Dweezil Zappa is an incredible musician, and I think an awesome budding composer himself.  He has obviously done his time in the woodshed; his playing is better than I can believe and compared to a few years ago when last I saw Him, much improved.  What a treasure.  These musicians blew me away and any one of them could of played in Frank's bands.  I can't believe how lucky I am that they came back to Humboldt County on their Roxy & Elsewhere 40th anniversary tour.  I can't believe this music was written 40 years ago...  I believe them when they say that Frank Zappa wrote music "from the future."  I have to salute Frank for not giving a shit about what anyone else thought, and leaving behind so much gold.  Thanks buddy.
