What shines forth in an admirable way is the detailed amount of attention and care that went into the Robert Trujillo produced “Jaco” Documentary.

His music now more than ever is as poignant and as rich as ever. To witness Jaco and feel his undeniable sense of ardor and comfort in his own skin is shall we say an effect well worth the intangible bliss that it entails.
