The Jaco video is a must have so you can see "the greatest bass player" of all time play. He is so good it hurts. This video I would say is mostly for entertainment, but he does throw a couple nuggets of information. For example, some arpeggios, scales, and things to practice for endurance. He plays "Portrait of Tracy" solos a lot with Jerry interviewing. The jam at the end is 20 minutes long and awesome. Getting to see Jaco play is worth almost any amount of money, especially since it's so hard to get videos of him. I would say the material is mostly advanced and the book isn't tab so you have to read music if you want to use the book. This is a must for any serious bass player.
