This is a logical tribute album from one great bassist ( Brian Bromberg ) to another ( Jaco Pastorius ). The front of the CD purposely resembles Pastorius ' debut recording and the program features six Pastorius songs (including two versions apiece of 'Come on, Come Over' and 'Teen Town' ), Joe Zawinul 's 'A Remark You Made,' the R&B standard 'The Chicken,' and Bromberg 's 'Tears.' A master at tapping his bass and equally skilled on electric and acoustic basses, Bromberg also has the ability to sound a bit like Pastorius when he wants. This excellent tribute set uses different personnel and instrumentations on each selection and shows off the many sides of Pastorius , both as a bassist and as a composer. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
