Joco will and forever be in my memory and in my heart. Brian, I was moved by the same musical memories as you. We who love music experienced the same impactful moments that made us musicians, inspiring us to this day. The first professional band I played in Soul Inc. Joco was the bass player. We were both sixteen at the time basically starting out together. When I moved back to Florida from Philadelphia he was the first guy I looked up to find a gig. I located him in a warehouse practicing to record his first album. I had the same mindset as him wanting to be the best at what we did. He accomplished that task by being the best there ever was!
Incredible. No, this film to me was life changing. As a bassist who has seen his own glory days come and go, this film really hit home. I remember getting Brian Melvin's music on CD as soon as I became aware of the recordings, like 30 years ago. Man, I'm so glad I watched this sober. I hope someday to find out it's been released on DVD.
This is a truly incredible historical source on Jaco Pastorius. Totally essential watching for anyone interested in the man. And the insight into JP here is extraordinary. Very different, very heartening.
Robert Trujillo has produced a most excellent biography on Jaco's life & career but his erstwhile comprehensive documentary doesn't mention this period whatsoever. I'm so happy to have watched both films. I have no insight to offer on mental illness but it does seem obvious that it eventually consumed the genius & the life of the brilliant master musician. Unspeakable tragedy ravaged the lives & loves of so many friends, family, colleagues, fans & the history of music. For at least a time, Brian offered Jaco an opportunity to continue to share the gift of music when very few others could after untold numbers of bridges had been burned & options exhausted. Thanks, Brian, for going the extra mile & for sharing these reflections. Posterity has benefited from the effort.
thank you Brian for making this thank you for taking such good care of Jaco and giving him such love from yourself and your family. I am from a Jewish Family from New York and my best friends families are the loving Italian types that care for me in the same way. Such a beautiful story
“There’s bigger things at play…It’s a Love thing…You don’t create people without love…Sometimes it grows…it never dies man…sometimes it just floats in the invisible world…we were all lucky to have a relationship with this person.”
I was in a band in Ft Lauderdale in the late '60s called Sidewalk's End. We practiced in a warehouse on Dixie Hwy where a lot of other bands also practiced. One night after practice we heard someone wailing away on a B-3 in the next row of warehouses. We walked around to see who it was and there sits Jaco all by himself just killing it on the B-3. He was playing with Las Olas Brass at the time. That dude could play anything. Later in around late '72 or early '73 I had been in a band called Axis and I owed our manager some money so I had to sell my Acoustic 360 rig. I put it on consignment at Modern Music and one day John Gallager, the owner, called me up and said , "He man, guess who bought your amp? - Jaco!" I don't know if this was the first 360 Jaco bought or not but he definitely bought mine. I never got to tell him that one night Noel Redding played through that amp too.
it's beautiful and sad at the same time to see that Jaco was in a quite good shape here. thanks a lot Brian for having tried to save him. i miss him a lot.
This was such an unexpected treat - thanks so much for sharing your insights about working & living with Jaco in San Francisco. All that footage of Jaco playing was wonderful too. Wishing you and your family many blessings for making him feel loved and safe for awhile. You are absolutely right - it's all about love. So glad you, your Mom and the band brought some joy to his later years.
Amazing narrative! Thanks for posting. It's great to hear of Jaco, the man and friend, as well as of his 80's career, away from Weather Report, and about some of the aspects of his musicianship from people he played with and respected. Jaco seems to be in many ways the proverbial restless figure, and for him to kind of "adopt" Brian's family says something about his deep connection to B. Melvin.
It really gives me a sickening feeling and a dry mouth when I think on how Jaco's life was cut short so maliciously! Pure malice. You dont achieve that kind of damage from one blow Luc! I really miss Jaco but this is a really cool insight into Jaco's life. Never EVER heard of Brian Melvin (Surprised hes not in Robert Trujillo's 'Jaco' documentary), but this is very interesting. Thanks for the upload!!
Some folks never play whoopsies. Hendrix played loads of whoopsies, so did Pastorius. The idea that Jaco Pastorius was an error-free robot probably derives from folks, like Hendrix, who never saw them play live. Hendrix frequently lost it live but quickly found it again with a little grin and Jaco was no different. He was never note-perfect. Not even in the studio. If you’ve ever heard these guys (not many people have) you’d know that live they walked tightropes for fun. That’s why this sort of music is so special. At any moment you’re about to make a complete fool of yourself!
He was like Jimi Hendrix. He just laughed when he played a dodgy note (he played a few dodgy notes!) and moved onto the next run. So many similarities, I heard it the first time I heard Jaco. Oh Donna Lee.
and thank you so much for the music. it really is true when you play with driven passionate musicians possibly better musicians they pull you up to their level makes you better and I am that type of musician who seeks people better than me to play with,, always striving to get better. that's early programming from seeing Jaco and people like you all. I'm so glad I saw this and have learned your story and will look forward to listening to night food often. I am sure it's all about love that's all you need to heal mentally ill people just give them enough love I am sure of it f*** medication
"Let's get some night food." Man. Thoroughly enjoyed this doc. Checkin out his music now because of this. Damn! on those drums on 'For Max'... Awesome.
That cat on piano looks like a hitman....like the dude from that video game Hitman. But all kidding aside this is a wonderful interview and has some great insight on Jaco. Thank you so much for posting!!
I met him at the Lone Star Cafe in New York. It's not there anymore. It became a houlihans restaurant. Jaco was playing in February of 1985 with Jorma, Jerry Jermot, Rachi Ali, and a collection of many others. Sometimes he was too wasted to play. Othertimes he could pull it off. I talked with him outside of the Lonestar and told him how much I enjoyed the songs "A Remark You Made" and "Teen Town". He thanked me and said it was just one of his songs. Then I found out that he was killed in Florida. Made me quite sad
Very interesting story, especially the segment on "the worst concert ever" at 35:00. It was good to get some kind of explanation to that awful experience me and my best friends had many years ago. I must say it was extremely disrespectful to the audience to take it out on us just to "teach the promotor" a lesson. Some, like myself, had traveled far to hear great musicians...not cool...
Love hearing jazz luminaries say nice things about The Grateful Dead, who-despite their long legendary career, immense creative output, loyal following, and undeniable social impact-seem to be too rapidly fading from the Great Cultural Memory, at least as represented on the internet.
I've heard everything these guys had to say about Jaco., yet, I still haven't heard what I want to hear. And I don't know what that is. It's something..
I totally agree.he was obviously a complicated man and a musical genius, but there is more to this picture...and I am not sure some truth is being withheld for reasons unknown...having said that I have nothing but respect for the man and the privacy of his family , just feel there has to be more to the story of his tragic early demise.
I can see that he truly loves and cares for Jaco. He is even still holding back on letting us know what was going on with him during serious moments of despair and trouble with Jaco. Great video, but I will read my bio book on Jaco. He's holding back too much for me to want to know what happened.
Throughout historical documents, many a great man has experienced downfall through a woman. The history books are full of tales of females dramatically effecting special beings.
@@Eged282 As is so often the case in America, a person with a mental health disorder is thought to be"crazy". This misunderstanding contributed to Jaco's early departure from this plain. JP was a genius. Having had the pleasure of becoming friends while we worked together, I witnessed his genius manifest in various ways. His vibration will impact musicians forever.
@@rickyschultz5434 I wouldn’t disagree with you for a second . Pastorius was always a genius. Seeing the movie and knowing some of the people involved(I’m from NYC), I feel that He did have a mental problem before , and I think it’s got exacerbated because of the stuff that has been going down at the loft. Wether If it made him crazier, or not, he was always a GENIUS. That is why “no shit”. To be as original on anything in this level? That’s a genius, no shit.-I dont care if one is crazy or not. You are very lucky to have known JP.
Super interesting story Brian tells and it's clear that he's a fairly non-assuming guy just living life and trying to be in the moment for what it is. Lots of people talk about resisting the trappings of fame and that headspace of seeking to be ''on top'' but, as the last few years of Jaco's life attest to, only the ones who actually do that without ever saying it are the wiser or richer. He was destined to be a tragedy, forget all the talk of mental illness. Whenever someone surpasses the intellect of being able to do the mechanical techniques - and - memorize the lines - and - attain the endurance - and - understand the theoretical aspects - and - show nonstop progression of the art of music their mind becomes a thing that, to everyone outside of it, seems erratic and unhinged, even dangerous, frightening. To understand Jaco you have to experience the ever present awareness that no matter how far one can go in stature and fame and ability and understanding there's always an aspect of bullsh t, of being a poser, a fake, an idealist, a self stroking dreamer to everything one does in life and it really hurts - yes, there is a physical pain involved that feels like your brain is being squeezed at times - when you see the most obvious fakers, the ones who do very little work, put very little of their sweat and blood into it, making all the money and having lives that seem to just flow as if there is some supernatural power waving a wand over them. It's the people on tv, it's the politicians, it's your neighbor, it's a relative, it's 24/7/365 and everywhere you look but it is NOT jealousy any more than what a prisoner in solitary confinement feels watching cops who beat to death and plant guns on innocent people feels, it's a nonstop sense of shock that inspires prayers such as ''God, why have you forsaken me? I don't want to be like them, I want you to STOP them, I don't want ANYONE to be like that. They cheat and get everything but those who play fair get kicked in the teeth. WHY?''. Add on top of that the inevitable heartaches that result from your struggles with that invisible burden that everyone else just can't see, like relationships with those you love more than life falling apart and the soul torturing awareness of those persons feeling that you hurt them intentionally, and the accumulated stress and its inherent anxiety will almost certainly take you down. In the mid to late 1990s Eddie Van Halen was on the path that Jaco was on 10 years previous. He was on his way down - erratic behaviors, showing up drunk, endless sarcastic comments peppered with jovial and even loving anecdotes - dude was struggling, his internal light was starting to blink. He got lucky. I don't know his 2nd wife or much about her at all, in fact, she could have been a total gold digger but it doesn't matter - she saved his life, literally. Whatever hope she gave to him kept him from ending up just like Jaco. It's not just him, or those two, it's a common thing in this world. Look back at the story of Moses and ''The Lord'' at the inn. It says ''And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.'' Exodus 4 : 24. There are certain things that will just make ANYONE snap and decide to throw everything out the window. My hope, if I can still call it hope, is the world leans back toward appreciating that before it is too late and we experience a mass collective snap - which is where it now looks like we are headed.
Is somebody can tell me when Brian split with Jaco and his combo ? I know it was just before Jaco's gig in Paris at the New Morning jazz club but I remember it was in July 1986 and I think it is probably wrong.
They edited the interview at 56:30 when Brian said that Jaco could "scare people if he wanted to". He must have scared and the nightclub bouncer who beat him.
is that Melvin and his band on these black and white videos? And what jaco period is this taken from, he still plays awesome, not disjoncted as in some late stuff

Yeah...no room for anyone but Jaco...no-one else can possibly exist or interact with him... a big universe with no-one but Jaco in it would be fantastic for documentaries about Jaco.

Thank you through you Brian, I've come to accept and appreciate the true artistic spirit of genuine human being that will always be missed.
I didn't know much about this part of his life, very interesting. Thanks for sharing this with the world.
Thanks Bri, great doc. on Jaco. Duly respectful, gentleman to gentleman.👍
very enjoyable - anything to do with Jaco is worth checking out and this was excellent!
a sincere thank you for making and sharing this video.
Thanks Brian Melvin!
Woweeee, what a great clip,thank u so much Brian🥰
Enlightening stuff, from a very nice guy. Touching X
The chord voicings for Portrait of Tracy are AMAZING.
The best document and rendition for Jaco.
This is so deep into JACO my biggest hero. Genius.

Jaco Pastorius, Jon Davis and Brian Melvin was een great trio. One of my favorite records ' Standard Zone'. There must be more of these recordings.
It really gives me a sickening feeling and a dry mouth when I think on how Jaco's life was cut short so maliciously!
Pure malice. You dont achieve that kind of damage from one blow Luc!
I really miss Jaco but this is a really cool insight into Jaco's life. Never EVER heard of Brian Melvin (Surprised hes not in Robert Trujillo's 'Jaco' documentary), but this is very interesting.
Thanks for the upload!!
Albums with Brian Melvin and Jaco Pastorius is my faforites!
real music from a real human being,,,,!
cheers to all..
From a little kid to an a inspiring adult- great info from the golden age of California jazz- and little did anyone know what was to come. 🤯
Wow, thank you for making this film.
jaco's left hand technique is so picture-perfect...i'm a classically trained guitarist and his hands were so "quiet" and economical
Great job Melvin superb

It is nice the way this musicians talk about Jaco.
I've listened to Jaco's Hendrix riffs so many times and it never gets old. It's like he predicted sampling.
"Let's get some night food."
Man.
Thoroughly enjoyed this doc.
Checkin out his music now because of this.
Damn! on those drums on 'For Max'... Awesome.
Jaco sounds tough on the fretted. Amazing poise.
Thank you!
Super enlightening video on many levels
America the Beautiful ( at very end) knocked the wind out of me -
That cat on piano looks like a hitman....like the dude from that video game Hitman. But all kidding aside this is a wonderful interview and has some great insight on Jaco. Thank you so much for posting!!
There's something of The Little Prince about him. 👑 Childlike, unworldly ~ playing
from his own lofty lone star. 🌟
I met him at the Lone Star Cafe in New York.
It's not there anymore.
It became a houlihans restaurant.
Jaco was playing in February of 1985 with Jorma, Jerry Jermot, Rachi Ali, and a collection of many others. Sometimes he was too wasted to play.
Othertimes he could pull it off.
I talked with him outside of the Lonestar and told him how much I enjoyed the songs "A Remark You Made"
and "Teen Town".
He thanked me and said it was just one of his songs.
Then I found out that he was killed in Florida.
Made me quite sad
I played at Lone Star. Great place. Never saw Jaco live but wish I did!
Very interesting story, especially the segment on "the worst concert ever" at 35:00. It was good to get some kind of explanation to that awful experience me and my best friends had many years ago.

Brian Melvin was a good man. And Brian understood him as a friend and as a human being and an artist.
i checked in on him today and he looked very much alive!

Off chemistry is a bitch. Sad.
that he could be saved. is what I wanted to hear
I can see that he truly loves and cares for Jaco. He is even still holding back on letting us know what was going on with him during serious moments of despair and trouble with Jaco. Great video, but I will read my bio book on Jaco. He's holding back too much for me to want to know what happened.
What bio book? Please let me know. Thanks
Awsome.
Well done my brothers

Takes two to tango. ... If you can't take the heat keep off the hot sauce.
THNX!!!
still love it!!
As crazy as Jaco was, he had to be a genius ...

nice! say,that melvin guy seems alright!
The clip about 18:30, it's like he's playing the bass like a classical guitar with 4 strings.
It must have been Memorial Day when they shot that B&W footage, whatever club that was.
Wow 36:19. Hendrix. Was this the only time he did this? First time hearing it. Excellent.
Jaco is Leonardo Divinci of bass!

Watching this make me feel that the Jaco Pastorius Documentary is not really telling the whole truth about his last 3-4 years before he died.
Mort Sahl mention!
1:17:59 & 1:19:29.........Jaco!!!
They edited the interview at 56:30 when Brian said that Jaco could "scare people if he wanted to". He must have scared and the nightclub bouncer who beat him.
LovemesomeJACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😛😛😛
is that Melvin and his band on these black and white videos? And what jaco period is this taken from, he still plays awesome, not disjoncted as in some late stuff
just in case you haven't found out ..the B/W footage is from 85/86
In retrospect the DX-7 sounds so incredibly cheesy today.
Boooooo
Sounded cheesy back then too. But of course I would have loved to have had one.
jacos bass with stacked knobs?
steinar b yeah may be this is the original plate of his 62 I’m almost sure this is not the body of the 62 with a fretted neck

So no one can use it . . .
So, all those who went to the show in Sweden got an awful show because one person (the promoter) used Jaco's picture on the poster. lol That sucks. ))
For this MOFO world, every Genius is a Bipolar...WTF? putting Jaco in the hospital....wow....that's a CRIME!!! F U M O R O N S !
Brian is in denial of Jaco mental problems and he blamed problems with women in this interview, LOL!
Sounds like a pain in the butt
Hard to listen to, actually ... this is so much more about name-dropping than it is about Jaco - sorry, but it's gotta be said ....
Yeah...no room for anyone but Jaco...no-one else can possibly exist or interact with him... a big universe with no-one but Jaco in it would be fantastic for documentaries about Jaco.
WTF, how many names does this guy drop... There is no actual story, just a discursive incoherent ramble really
F u
