Then, you also get a very well-made film the covers a lot of ground. The only thing that wasn't mentioned, however, that I feel is important, was that the common thread between weather report, RTF, and Mahavishnu was Miles . Miles is really not mentioned much in the entire video. And I think it's a mistake to think fit any of this music could've existed without bitches brew, because so many of these major players Who are interviewed came out of that era before Jaco arrived on the scene. Still, a beautiful job and Mr. Trujillo deserves much praise. It was a little hard to hear metal music coming out of Jaco's magical base now that he owns it, but at least it is being played, loved, and respected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OUTRAGEOUS VIRTUOSITY (aka, he did it all with 4 strings!) *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020* This documentary views like a music composition. During the first half the basic themes are presented and discussed, and about half way through, the mood shifts and the variations begin. Along the way there are embellishments of home movies, revealing interviews, and of course clips of Jaco performing. The pacing is calm and even. No topic is rushed. The results are a humanizing documentary that reveals a man – savant like in his gifts – who tries to juggle his unprecedented talent with personal demons. Is the music the cause of his struggles, or the result? Are his abilities gifts or burdens? We’re left to make our own conclusion.All in all, this documentary is a touching portrait of a man who left an indelible mark in a very short time. A second disc contains extended interviews which provide insightful stories about Jaco. Most are commentaries about his abilities, his friendships, and a few accounts of his idiosyncrasies.With anything, there are always subjects that could have been furthered explored. I would like to have heard from his wives (his sons and brother are featured). I would also have liked more details about his technique with specific examples. When discussing his demise, not much was said about the people that caused Jaco’s death. We’re not really told why they beat him so savagely, or what happened to them. Perhaps this wasn’t the place for those details.Fame and accolades aside, it’s too bad Jaco wasn’t able to receive consistent mental and physical care. Who knows what else he could have accomplished. As impressed as we might be with what Jaco left us, imagine what it must have sounded like in his head! Absolutely recommend for any music aficionados, and required viewing for all bass players! All will be amazed at the outrageous virtuosity, performed on only four strings! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I enjoyed this documentary very much *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016* I enjoyed this documentary very much. It has something for everyone as it contains at least some things you didn't know, nor have seen, regardless of who you are. My family moved to Fort Lauderdale Florida in 1955, a few years before the Pastorius Family. Although Fort Lauderdale/Oakland Park and the rest of Broward County is pretty spacious, believe it or not, in the 50's and 60's it wasn't heavily populated. As such, you would run into people all the time. My first memories of Jaco are related to the outdoors as that is what you did back then. I remember Little League games at Holiday Park when we were about 8 or 9 and the basketball courts on the south end of Fort Lauderdale Beach where all of the families used to cook out. We were not in the same circle of friends as he grew up on the east side of town, Oakland Park, and I grew up in Lauderdale Manors, about a mile from WRBD, which Jaco's brother Gregory refers in the documentary to as The Hood. Somehow, someone, had the insight (or at least the bread) to record some of this footage of life in South Florida back then. Even his first wife Tracy seemed to now something was coming and preserved Family Life at the beach swimming and playing Frisbee. This is some of my favorite footage as the young Jaco I knew was pretty quiet and shy, not the Wildman some people think of. Peter Erskine, Peter Graves, Ira Sullivan, and others try to emphasize the difference between the Man and the Performer. The documentary actually has a lot of really funny content which is nice as I think everyone was expecting it to be sad due to his early demise. As far as concert footage, if you are a devoted follower, you undoubtedly will have seen at least some of these performances, but even I had not seen all of them. There is much video of Jaco on stage with full-length performances, this is a documentary of his life peppered with enough snippets to lure in even those who are only interested in his music. Which could include Jaco as he makes it clear that his primary concern was where he was playing next. It certainly wasn't on money management or business dealings, which contributed greatly to his problems. He knew what he wanted in his music (even if the Industry refused to listen) but he had 2 wives and 4 kids to support. One night I was at Musicians Exchange Cafe talking with Jaco's brother Gregory and Jaco walked in. He just kept saying "what do they want from me?. Do they expect me to invent the electric bass, again?" Less that 10 years before, people were sitting there with their mouths hanging open in awe, and now they sat with their arms crossed saying "impress me" The "downfall" portion, if you want to call it that, is sad, but he accomplished/contributed more in his time on Earth than the rest of us will do if we live to be 100. Jaco was a deeply spiritual and even religious sole. ( he was an altar boy at St Clemens in Wilton Manors) The Bobby Thomas footage is very revealing regarding it being time to go. He started in Holiday Park and ended in Holiday Park. It would have been nice to have more in the documentary regarding the later days after the Twins, Felix and Julius (both very good musicians themselves) were born and the Jaco Pastorius Park which we helped bring to fruition just a few blocks from where Jaco grew up, but hey, it is still a great documentary of a simple yet very complex man who is still missed by many, including me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/23924770-jaco-the-film](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/23924770-jaco-the-film) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
