American jazz bassist, composer and producer Jaco Pastorius was a member of Weather Report in the 1970s and also recorded albums as a solo artist. As of 2017, he is the only electric bassist inducted into the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame and is lauded as one of the best electric bassists of all time.

He recorded a total of five albums with acclaimed drummer Brian Melvin, including the 1989 album Jazz Street, one of Pastorius' last studio recordings, which also featured session musicians Rick Smith, Jon Davis, Paul Mousavi, Bill Keaney and Keith Jones. Together they recorded cover versions of jazz classics: Joe Henderson "Out Of The Night", John Coltrane "Miles Mode" and three Jon Davis pieces, "Wedding Waltz", "No Slack" and "Drums Of Yadzarah".

Jazz Street is available in a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on yellow vinyl.
