    • Buy this bass man.
To be honest, though the live performances are typical Jaco making you go... ahhhh, and WOW, simultaneously, the camera angles change to much, the video is grainy, and not much care was taken with the recording or mix of the band. The interview/lesson format works well for me though after initially wishing the other guy wasn't even there. But I believe Jaco's recounting of how he started learning bass in the beginning, particularly the scale and rudimentary exercises he picked up playing tuba parts on electric bass in a school concert band, is incredibly interesting. And unlike so many instructional videos, he goes on to show how he turned those rudiments into soloing and songwriting, all in incremental bits. Then he gets on to some of his advanced technique, but I like that there's something here to play along and be learned for beginning and intermediate bass players too. And you know, there's being nice for a camera, and then there's guys just being themselves that make you feel good to be around, guys like Jaco. So for that, this gets 5 stars, but really, know that the video production and sound reinforcement leaves a lot to be desired. ... show more

    • We Are Fortunate...That Jaco Gave Us This Classroom Lesson!
There's only ONE Jaco isn't there? He didn't live long enough to beat this epic teaching tool. While others will moan about JACO being past his primed-ignore that stinkin' thinkin’… Jaco knew how important this teaching gig was…and Jaco loved the idea of teaching others-so he cleaned up for this fantastic study on electric bass. He also respected Jerry who does the interview. Amazing thing about Jerry-he doesn’t have flash chops like Jaco but make no mistake-if you listen to the BB King Record - “Completely Well” on which Jerry is featured - you would be hard pressed to find a more melodic bassist with a deep pocket and fantastic time. When BB won his Grammy for “The Thrill Is Gone” he apparently got on his knees to Jerry and said sincerely: “Thank you!” I want to say the TRIO Jams here are excellent. And I mean EXCELLENT. (DVD Version) They could package those on their own! It’s lonely being a bassist. Takes a special type of person to take the abuse of condescending lead instruments-which happens all the time. With Jaco-we learn melody…and get even. That alone should be reason to jump at the CD, the DVD, the enclosed book that transcribes many of the sections. We’re lucky to have this! Get all items connected to this educational enterprise -from CD to DVD. Then work it. Don’t let it sit around. Find a jazz player to help you -have some fun. Keep it in a trio format -so you can be heard. -MS ... show more

    • this is a dvd
i thought i ordered a bass guitar music instruction.book. this dvd probably has useful information. it has an interview of jaco and clips showing some playing by an expert. but i am an older beginner and it was over my head.

    • I was surprised just a bit that I loved this video so much
As a non bass player, I was surprised just a bit that I loved this video so much... but it's so much a great interview and an informative look at Jaco Pastorius' amazing skills, it's a great augmentation to the fabulous Trujillo produced movie, "JACO"... so glad I bought it!

    • If you are a fan of Jaco's....
Jaco was a great bassist and it's great to watch him and hear him describe how he got his sound. Jaco was an interesting person who died too soon but still was on the scene long enough to influence so many musicians. I only wish the DVD was more instructional, but how can you teach what he could do?

    • A Must For Jaco Fans And Bass Players
Being a Bass player I am always amazed at the sounds Jaco could coax out of his Fender Jazz Bass. While there are many great Bass players Jaco brought Bass playing to a true art form. Weather you are a fan of Jaco or a Bass player you will want to add this to your video library. Highly recommended.

    • For advanced players
I've been playing Bass since the early 70's and found this DVD a wealth of information. Learning the exercises has improved my playing tremendously. This is for advanced players only since he essentially shows you the exercises at full speed. A beginner would be completely lost I believe
