Great documentary on Jaco Pastorius...Just a heads up, if you haven't seen it.

I'll watching this one for sure.
 
One of my top five fav bass players.

I watched this last week - very good documentary.
Definitely worth watching.
 
He's on my top five, too.

got it recorded for later!

Thanks! I was wondering when this would show up on Netflix.

Don't have Netflix, but do have the Blu-ray.
 
Even if Metallica is not your thing, and he is not your idea of a great bassist, you gotta give a big shout-out to Robert Trujillo!
 

Yeah, I'm not into metal, but it just goes to show that real musicians respect good musicianship regardless of genre. Even Jaco talks about being in a Country and Western band for a year...saying he had a blast.
I'm glad this was made. It certainly cleared up a few things for me. It's sad to see a genius musician fall so far, and never have the chance to rebound from it. Jaco...more than just a great bass player.
(I have a few of those Joni Mitchell albums on original vinyl. Shadows and Light is one of my favorites, and the first time I was exposed to Jaco and Metheny.)

Watched it today.  Good vid

i bought this when it was first released on dvd...
 
i met jaco, back in '82.
it was a very cool time,
he was quite lucid,
and actually jammed with us on stage, to loverboy's 'turn me loose'.
LOL

I no longer have TV and I don't have Netflix either... 
 
Oh well, there's always YouBoob!
