Jaco Pastorius – Jaco Pastorius

The Beam Me Up Scotty’s Series, Part 6/25 (LP)

Incredible 1976 solo debut from bass guitar virtuoso. Pure ambition and technical ability, the songs here, including a cover of Miles Davis’ Donna Lee, span jazz, latin, R&B and more. Players include Herbie Hancock, Sam & Dave, David Sanborn and many others.

This album will change how you think about the bass guitar, how it can be mastered and then played with love. This has to be groundbreaking for its time, pure innovation and vision, serving damn notice!

Mind blown.
