Jerry González recalls his friendship with bass legend Jaco Pastorius.
Jerry’s explanations of the clave and the behind-the-scenes time that goes into great music are absolutely priceless.
Ends with a rare recording of a collaboration: Jerry González/Jaco Pastorius at the late/great 55 Grand in Soho, NY.
Another clip from the film and another lesson about musical reality

Not so coincidentally, Thomas Dorsy, one of its primary pioneers was living, working, and playing in Chicago at the same time as King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, and Bix Beiderbecke.
Of course, the music’s roots go way back before the 1920s.
A beautiful historical survey of the Spirituals tradition and how its impact is still felt and heard today.
