Personnel
Howard Johnson, jazz's foremost tuba specialist, is credited on Jaco Pastorius's self-titled 1976 debut — the album that redefined what the electric bass could do. He plays a marching-band instrument that has almost no other place in fusion.
Joe Chambers drummed through Blue Note's mid-1960s golden age — In the Beginning (1965), Mode for Joe (1966), Tender Moments (1968) — and resurfaces half a century later on Deciphering the Message (2021), an album that reworks that same vault, with the original session player still in the room.
