A compelling story of prodigious talent, personal adventures and raw human vulnerability, 'JACO' presents the world of the electric bass phenomenon Jaco Pastorius through the eyes of his family and various musical collaborators (missing Pat Metheny, Airto and Flora Purim, among many others that were close friends and musical collaborators; Jaco even lived for a few months in Flora & Airto's house, recorded together with them many times and was responsible for introducing the Brazilian couple to French maestro Michel Colombier, something that led to Flora's "Everyday Everynight" album, on which Pastorius was prominently featured as musician and composer.)
Produced by the Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, and directed by Paul Marchand and Stephen Kijak, this blistering biopic contains incredible unseen footage and photography from the Pastorius family archive, and takes viewers into the heart and soul of this hugely influential cross-genre artist. Featuring interviews with an array of artists (Flea, Joni Mitchell, Sting, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Geddy Lee) and friends, 'JACO' unveils the story of his music, his life, his demise, and ultimately the fragility of great artistic genius.
