Groundbreaking album. In my top 5 Jaco Pastorius recordings.
beautiful
I like this one more than his eponymous record I think. It’s more personal and less trying to prove a point.
Great piece of work! What a composer and musician he was…
Jaco Pastorius is the BEST. I am a huge Pat Metheny fan and that is where I saw Jaco play many times. He is the BEST.
Remarkable music by remarkable musicians
Othello Molineaux on steel drum/pan. Jazz pioneer, slighted by the country of his (and his instrument’s) birth — Trinidad and Tobago. LOVED by Jaco (RIP).
Grande e Unico Jaco!
Genius
love it from day 1.

Mi entusiasmo’ il primo lavoro di jaco…… Ma questo sicuramente è stata la sua maturità
