This self-titled album was Jaco Pastorius' solo debut and was originally released in 1976. The album was produced by Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer/founder Bobby Colomby.[3] The disc begins with a cover version of Miles Davis' "Donna Lee" (although the song was originally credited - mistakenly - to Charlie Parker on the album[4]) and includes eight other tracks written or co-written by Pastorius.
