This self-titled debut album by Jaco Pastorius is one of the most significant milestones in fusion jazz history, and this high-quality 180-gram vinyl reissue by Music On Vinyl honors its original sound. The album revolutionized electric bass playing by showcasing Jaco's unprecedented fretless bass technique, singing melodies, and funk-driven grooves, which are instantly recognizable on the opening track Donna Lee and the iconic Portrait of Tracy. Featuring an all-star lineup of jazz legends like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Pat Metheny, this record remains an essential masterpiece for any jazz or bass music enthusiast.
