Holiday for Pans is a posthumous studio album by jazz fusion bassist Jaco Pastorius. Recorded between 1980 and 1982 at several New York City studios, the album was intended to be Pastorius' third solo album (following 1981's Word of Mouth).[1]
Pastorius' record label Warner Bros. refused to release the album on the basis that it was "extremely esoteric": Pastorius was well-known as a bass guitar prodigy, yet Holiday for Pans was largely a showcase for steel drum performances by longtime collaborator Othello Molineaux.[2] The album also features contributions from Pastorius' Weather Report bandmates Wayne Shorter and Don Alias, harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans, as well as orchestration from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.[2]
Pastorius spent the last several years of his life searching for a label to release Holiday for Pans, to no avail. At the time of the bassist's death in 1987, the tapes were left in the possession of engineer Kenny Jackel.[2] Against the wishes of the Pastorius family,[3] Jackel sold the recordings to Japanese record label Sound Hills, which released the album in 1993.[3] To date, the album remains unreleased in the United States, although the website of the Pastorius estate now appears to recognize the album.[4]The Penguin Guide to Jazz has labeled the recording "by far the most imaginative project Pastorius ever undertook."[5]
