Cet opus marque le début de la carrière solo de Jaco Pastorius, enregistré en 1975 sur le label Epic. Le compositeur et bassiste de jazz ayant auparavant collaboré avec Ira Sullivan, Paul Bley et Pat Metheny.

L’enfant prodige de la basse électrique fretless (sans frette), assassiné à 35 ans, confie avec ce premier album éponyme un enregistrement foisonnant avec un large spectre musical (jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, musique des Caraïbes). Un florilège de légendes du jazz ont en effet contribué à Jaco Pastorius. On retrouve entre autres parmi les musiciens, Herbie Hancock à la clarinette et au Fender Rhodes sur plusieurs morceaux, dont Come On, Come Over, ou au piano sur Used To Be A Cha Cha, le saxophoniste Wayne Shorter sur Opus Pocus, ou encore Julian Barber à la viole, Paul Gershman au violon pour ne citer qu’eux.

Le LP contient des morceaux d'anthologie, une reprise du standard bebop Donna Lee de Charlie Parker en duo avec le percussionniste Don Alias, un morceau en solo Portrait of Tracy - pour lequel Pastorius use d’un jeu mélodique, tout en démontrant que la basse peut être abordée comme un instrument polyphonique -, un thème soul Come on, come over avec les chanteurs Sam and Dave, des titres de jazz fusion et latin jazz avec Herbie Hancock et Hubert Laws, etc.

Cet album sort en 1976, année de sortie de Black Market de Weather Report dans lequel Pastorius joue deux pistes
