Jaco Pastorius audaciously dubbed himself "The World's Greatest Bass Player," and then set out during his short, 26-year life to live up to the title. This 27-track collection captures him both live and in the studio with Weather Report, Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock as well as the best of his solo recordings; includes Dibba Keel Barbary Coast; Hejira; Birdland; Punk Jazz; 4 A.M.; John and Mary; Port of Entry; Soul Intro/The Chicken , and more.
