JACO tells the remarkable and tragic tale of Jaco Pastorius, a self-taught, larger-than-life musician who single-handedly changed the course of modern music by redefining the sound and the role of the electric bass guitar. Never-before-seen 8mm film, photographs, and audio recordings unveil the true story behind Pastorius' all-too-brief life, his music, and heartbreaking end.JACO follows Pastorius' beginnings and ascent, from his era-defining work with jazz-fusion pioneers Weather Report to crossover collaborations with Joni Mitchell and Ian Hunter to his own inspired solo career as bandleader and composer. Highlighted by exclusive material from the Pastorius family archive, the film features memories and encomiums from a spectrum of Jaco fans and followers, including Joni Mitchell, Sting, Flea, Herbie Hancock, Geddy Lee, Bootsy Collins, Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter and many others.The official JACO theatrical trailer featuring Joni Mitchell, Flea, Herbie Hancock, Jonas Hellborg Streaming Now was released online earlier this month and is streaming now at the JACO Facebook page. In addition, the trailer can be viewed - alongside a number of other exclusive clips - via the JACO: The Film YouTube channel.The official Record Store Day film of 2014, JACO had its world premiere earlier this year at Austin, TX's SXSW Film Conference & Festival, accompanied by a panel discussion featuring filmmakers Trujillo and Marchand as well as longtime Pastorius collaborator Peter Erskine (Weather Report, Word of Mouth) and JACO Executive Producer John Pastorius. The session can be viewed now at www.sxsw.com/music/news/2015/video-spotlight-jaco-2015-sxsw-music-conference. In addition, SXSW ON's Studio SX interview with Trujillo, Marchand, and Pastorius is streaming at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm7CSf6rQeU.JACO has since earned applause at a number of major international festivals, including the 21st Athens International Film Festival, where it received the "Golden Athena" prize for "Best Film (Music & Film)" and the first ever Asbury Park Music in Film Festival, taking home the inaugural "Foundations" award. Other festivals include Filmfest München and the Montreal International Jazz Festival, earning acclaim from the Montreal Gazette: JACO "(captures) the essence of what made Jaco such an influential artist," adding "the glowing words of Marchand's interviewees and the many recorded and live musical excerpts that he lets speak for themselves" and hailing JACO as "an enlightening introduction to a groundbreaking musician."For more, please visit jacothefilm.com, twitter.com/JACOFilm, www.facebook.com/jacodocumentary, andinstagram.com/jacofilm.
