From the first time Robert Trujillo heard Jaco in the late 1970's, his idea of how a bass guitar could be played was forever changed. After a long musical career as bassist for Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves, Robert now pays homage to the legendary and mysterious Jaco Pastorius with never before seen footage and fellow artist commentary in his documentary Jaco: The Film.
