Regarded by many to be the best Joni/Jaco collaboration, Hejira showcases Jaco's lyrical bass lines along the same lines as "Continuum" and Zawinul's "A Remark You Made". This album was released the same year as Jaco's solo album and many others he performed on with other artists, and was the first of four he performed on with Joni.
