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

Victory Bailey picked up a bass and was a pro from Minute One. How the heck does that happen?
