Editorial Reviews

Personnel includes: Jaco Pastorius (bass); Sam Moore, Dave Prater (vocals); Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone); David Sanborn (alto saxophone); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Howard Johnson (baritone saxophone); Randy Brecker (trumpet); Peter Graves (bass trombone); Peter Gordon (French horn); Hubert Laws (piccolo); Max Pollikoff, Arnold Black (violin); Julian Barber, Al Brown (viola); Kermit Moore, Beverly Lauridsen (cello); Herbie Hancock (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards); Alex Darqui (Fender Rhodes piano); Homer Mensch (acoustic bass); Narada Michael Walden, Lenny White, Bobby Economou (drums); Othello Molineaux, Leroy Williams (steel drums); Don Alias (bongos, congas, bells, okonko y iya, afuche, percussion). Recorded at Camp Colomby Studios, New City, New York and Columbia Recording Studios C&B, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. All tracks have been digitally remastered. With one album, this self-titled first release, bass phenomenon Jaco Pastorius was catapulted into the position of the greatest electric bass player that ever lived. Officially discovered by Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer Bobby Colomby, Jaco's revolutionary use of the bass as a solo instrument made him one of the most compelling instrumentalists of the electric era. Indeed, this record marked a turning point in the history of music--from the period before Jaco Pastorius and the period since. It is the first track, Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee," that did it all. Accompanied only by conga drums, Jaco proceeds to ferociously tear through the intricate melody and then produce several choruses of stunning solos like no one had ever heard. From machine gun-like staccato lines to deep space harmonics, his command of the instrument is frightening. Pastorius is joined by R&B heroes Sam & Dave for a rousing reading of the funky "Come On, Come Over." Also included on this treasure are cherished works like the expressive "Continuum," the poetic solo "Portrait

Jaco is and will always be remembered as the world's greatest bass player! He is sorely missed in this musical world of ours! The album shows his versatility in his many different techniques of playing the bass! Enjoy! Larry

You know who wouldn’t let me post my first review of a defective case. So I’m trying again without naming names. I see reviews here of others that have had a defective product but for some reason I can’t post about mine? Maybe I should just return my broken product.

Came with a crack on the back of the cd case.
Not a big deal for me. Cd was intact.
You put it on and you hear why Jaco was reveered by many. You get to submerge yourself in his music.

Jaco Pastorius' first solo LP is literally mindblowing. He starts by tugging on Charlie Parker's cape by covering Donna Lee, a Miles tune recorded by Bird when Miles was in his band. Then he brings in Sam and Dave to sing on an r&b number, Come On Come Over, in which the speed and precision of his 16th notes is remarkable. He starts "Continuum" with a triple-stop harmonic, just because he can, and Jaco wannabes (me included) have been playing this song continuously for the last 35 years. "A Portrait of Tracy" is a similar setpiece for bassists, a drop dead gorgeous piece (written for his first wife) which includes more harmonics than you thought were humanly possible. This CD and his other studio solo effort (Word of Mouth) are jaw droppers. Jaco died young so he didn't get to make much music, but his genius burned brightly (perhaps a little too brightly) for about 10 years. He gigged with Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell, and Weather Report, which cut into the time he had to make his own records. Shamefully, Jaco's third solo album, Holiday for Pans, has never been released (though it has been bootlegged). Jaco's genius encompassed composition and arranging, and he produced a record which featured these two facets of his musicality-- but not a note of his bass playing. The suits thought he was nuts, but it wasn't madness. It was genius. "Jaco Pastorius" remains in Amazon's top 20 bestsellers for fusion jazz-- 35 years after it was released. Unfortunately Jaco did not get much of the financial reward. When he died his estate came to $600. In an ironic touch for a man who spent his last year homeless, living in a park in Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale now has a park named after him, with two outsize wall murals of the great maestro. Jaco lives!

Not a big fan of Jazz necessarily, but knew enough to buy this for a friend who just started leaning the bass. Jaco was from SoFlo and has a park named for him in Oakland Park, FL. He was renound in the day and is highly regarded as one of the most influential bass guitar musicians of his time. A must buy for those who love the genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably the Most Devastating Solo Debut Album - Ever
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019
Verified Purchase
If you listen to the scope of what he was doing on this album, technically and musically, and at the age he recorded it, it is impressive beyond belief. If you then consider the innovations he made on his physical instrument, the way it was played, and that he did all of this on a four-string bass, it is almost too much to fathom. If you then put this into the context of what was typical for the electric bass time at the time this album was recorded, and begin to understand the influence it had on every bassist to come after him -- directly or indirectly -- it is too much to fathom. In my opinion, this is one of the truly great albums ever recorded in modern American music. It is rare to find a recording this vibrant and eclectic which can flat-out melt your face upon your first listening, while continuing to delight you with rich and beautiful subtlety upon your hundredth.
