Jimmy,
I agree with the "music is free" frustration...I refuse to use any music streaming services until musicians have an arrangement that is more like the way content producers and actors get compensated for streaming their content. That seems to be a better model IMHO. I know that I am also in the minority where that is concerned, but so far there is nothing that has changed my mind.

As soon as I get an evening free, I'm going to VOD the Mike Landau Liquid Quartet show while eating a homemade baked potato on my couch. Win-win!
Best,
Ed V

I just looked at the booking for Birmingham and it's sold out and the venue holds 16,000!!

Jimmy, I just got the new Gary Husband release from Bandcamp that you are on, The Trackers. Cool stuff, high energy, it’s out there! 

[JimmyJ]

Hey thanks all.  Let's hope touring is a bit less bizarre this coming year.  Fingers crossed...

Rob, it's always a treat to play with Husband in any setting, he's such a creative monster.  He and Alf built some cool tracks here and all of us bass players had fun adding our bits.

Not sure if this has been posted before but whilst looking for some steel pan songs and thought you might recognise this bass player Jimmy J. ;-)

Great stuff Jazzyvee! Jimmy is quite possibly the most tasteful bass player on the planet! Every note and space is perfectly placed for the perfect feel to the song!

[jazzyvee]

It is pretty awesome isn't it.

[rustyg61]

Yes it is!!!

[JimmyJ]

Hey, cool it you guys (but thanks for the kind words).  Know that I spent plenty of time assembling the bass parts for both of these projects so the video representation is just me trying to finger-sync along with the parts I had built in ProTools...   Good fun though!  And great to play with these other fine musicians.

Cheers,
Jimmy J

Jimmy, it was time well spent! You have left us the legacy of the recordings for generations to enjoy!

Pan Fried Chicken had me smiling.  The fun certainly shown through.

I am also tickled to see Rusty back here… it’s been awhile ain’it?

[rustyg61]

Thanks Pauldo! It's good to be back!

More Jimmy clips brings bass players out of hibernation!
Thanks Jazzy for finding these videos, and thanks again Jimmy for every note you show us!
