Jaco Pastorius is Jaco Pastorius' solo debut, originally released in 1976. The album was produced by Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer/founder Bobby Colomby.[4] 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[5]) and includes eight other tracks written or co-written by Pastorius. For the 2007 reissue, two previously unreleased tracks were added.
