And that drummer is Jeff Sipe. Lives in Brevard NC and I've played with him before down in Greenville SC. He's insane, and if you pay him 100 bucks, hell come play with ya if he likes what your doing
12 years later--still here. I've transcribed most of Jimmy's solo on this. His improvisation level is unreal. Spending all these hours with this solo has made it abundantly clear how deep his well runs with musical ideas expressed on the guitar
I saw Jeff Sipe aka Apt Q258 play with Aquarium Rescue Unit many moons ago @ Berkeley Cafe in Raleigh. I sat literally 10 feet from his throne. Best right hand I've ever seen.
Holy crap... I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I have never heard of Jimmy Herring until tonight. Thanks TH-cam recommendations. I think I have a lot of interesting music in my future
@@shawnnerveza5563 yeah…glad you added Jazz Is Dead to the comment. I had actually kind of forgotten about that project. Gave me a reason to go back and listen again. It really is some fantastic work. Thanks!
There are plenty of guitarists who can play fast. To each their own, but for me Jimmy's combination of blues and jazz in his playing sets him apart from those with similar technical skill. His runs are so unique, I've never heard anyone play like him. And the dude NEVER makes a mistake. I've seen him in concert for 2 hours or more and he never missed a note.
I completely agree. I love his use of his whammy bar (not on this song) and volume knob. He gets the coolest effect, like a slide. One of the most unique guitarists out there. I saw him play with Phil Lesh and Friends with Warren Haynes for 4 shows, had to be some of the best music I have ever seen.
Believe it or not, I've seen him make a mistake on a video on TH-cam which I just noticed for the first time a few minutes ago. It was on an easy part that I'm sure he would have liked to have back. It might be the only one he's ever made. But what an amazing player and he has the best tone I've ever heard.
i'm here to testify that Jimmy has always been amicable and has a kind gentle way about him. he's 1 year younger, went to High School together. in maybe '77 one Thursday i recall i was not playing my guitar, but out partying, and Jimmy was playing the school Talent Show, "Carry On My Wayward Son" it seems i recall. i see him on occasion, last time 2009 Raleigh Jazz Guitar Festival/Raleigh NC (John McClaughlin was also there). anyway always a treat to hear Jimmy, he's one unique guitarist with a feel and heart in his music that provides a wonderful experience.
The little smug smiles they give each other when they know they just killed a solo or little riff :) and the others just smile back like damn right you just did that!
If you like Jimmy, check out Derek Trucks and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Derek is definitely a disciple of Herring, and that band balances the line between being a true jam band and being a more straight-ahead blues/soul/Americana/rock kind of band. The only other player who I believe is at an equal level as Jimmy Herring on guitar is Derek Trucks (I honestly put Derek _just_ a notch higher than Jimmy, but that's more of a personal opinion), so you will certainly enjoy them. A good starting place might be any live youtube vid of them playing Midnight in Harlem. It's a great representation of what they do as a band.
I'd Like that a hundred times if I could. Has everything I love in a tune: great groove, tight rhythm section, Hammond, great guitar tone, and a couple of twists here and there. Thanks for the video!
I was getting chills listening to this, and don't know why? I guess no guitar players these days try to push to this limit anymore. This is otherworldly stuff ... Jimi Hendrix was a bad dude playing in a trio !!!!!
And that's how it's done, ladies and gentlemen. These guys are the quintessential "hip cats on the scene "! Great groove, hip outside lines and general nonchalant musicality. Great big fun that is sadly uncommon among younger musicians these days.
Fabulous to hear the fun these guys are having together... just stellar playing all round without a single showoff lick - they don't have to have to prove anything to anybody!
Love these Guys, My Favorite !! Listen to "Matts Funk" w/ a Cup of Java First thing in the A.M. To Start My Day, Everyday !! Great Job, Great Tune, and I will see You All @ Lincoln Theatre in D.C. Nov 11th. Until then, Keep Groovin', Ur Friend, Clyde Johnson !!
I was just thinking that. He started off in Chicago Blues style, which is near and dear to my heart, then somewhere in the middle ended up in Holdsworth mode playing crazy fast and playing outside Legato runs. what a badass combo eh? Soul and Technicality, unbeatable!
@@stevend1354 well 4ths can sound very good over most minor chords and then diminished will work over any V7 chords cos they all have three diminished arpeggios to start with...add a #9 and you've got the fourth one...could also play a tritone sub over the V7 chords that will also sound nice and dissonant ...still i expect your probably well aware of these !!!
@@davidscott1052 i'm sure if you clutter your mind with enough theory you could blah blah blah blah jimmy is beyond that now ......he can play what he feels without thinking theory.....he is full of full of musical knowledge and it flows naturally with great feeling
@@carldulcie364 yeah I find the more I clutter my mind ...the better I play...you should try it ....works for all the top jazz guys.......this is how you get to being able to "play what you feel"....but you have to start with knowing the theory behind it first
Saw these boys last night open for John McLaughlin in Portland, OR. Not only had I not heard of them but didn't know McLaughlin had an opening act at this show. I figured they must be real good, if they're opening for John. These boys are BAMF's...each and every one of them. I was seriously blown away by the musicianship of each man. At the end, both bands jammed together...EPIC!!
I would LOVE to see anything more from this or any other sessions of Jimmy Herring Band! The sound from Miraverse is INCREDIBLE, even though I'm not listening through studio monitors (I'm sure the monitors are phenomenal there!)--- it sounds wonderful! The room really sounds GREAT! Wish I could see the entire session, or I'd love to buy a DVD of something like that! Really appreciate you taking the time to post these 2 tracks... Love to see more Jimmy Herring session videos! Thanks!!

Yep. Total Ace.

Share it with us
That drummer is incredible
the great Jeff Sipe! Check out all the people he's played with through the years.
Yes! I usually come.for the guitarists. But a few drummers stand out. This cat and Dave Weikle are 2!!!
You mean apt q248?

Fucking terminator

Never a bad place to start. Go see him with his small acts like this where he can really let loose.
Check out his Aquarium Rescue Unit stuff. The dude is one versatile guitarist.
He's amazing. Check out old Aquarium Rescue Unit fr the early 90s. He also had a thing called Jazz is Dead for a minute that was awesome.
@@freehahahafree omg I just said the same thing!
@@shawnnerveza5563 yeah…glad you added Jazz Is Dead to the comment. I had actually kind of forgotten about that project. Gave me a reason to go back and listen again. It really is some fantastic work. Thanks!
This is the highest level of Dad-jazz I've witnessed.
it is potent..
"jazz"?
what does dad-jazz mean?
@@ClamsAnonymous yes ...what the f### does that suppose to mean !!!!
@@ClamsAnonymous I guess bluesy jazz-rock. Steely Dan type shit

Jimmy is a guitarist you can study for years and still find new things in there :-)

Matt Dickey
It's the pinnacle of technically adept Dad Rock.
Believe it or not, I've seen him make a mistake on a video on TH-cam which I just noticed for the first time a few minutes ago. It was on an easy part that I'm sure he would have liked to have back. It might be the only one he's ever made. But what an amazing player and he has the best tone I've ever heard.
If you haven't, listen to John Scofield. He also has a unique style that blends jazz, blues and rock.
I don't know how I got here but man am I glad I found this band. 👏👏👏👏
Widespread Panic…he kills it
SICK. All players hitting on all cylinders!
Drummer Jeff Sipe look like he was just out walking the dog, then popped by for a quick jam.
was curious if that was Sipe
Actually he had been umpiring a little league game, but walked dog after this jam
Funny but this is incredible he's doing
i'm here to testify that Jimmy has always been amicable and has a kind gentle way about him. he's 1 year younger, went to High School together. in maybe '77 one Thursday i recall i was not playing my guitar, but out partying, and Jimmy was playing the school Talent Show, "Carry On My Wayward Son" it seems i recall. i see him on occasion, last time 2009 Raleigh Jazz Guitar Festival/Raleigh NC (John McClaughlin was also there). anyway always a treat to hear Jimmy, he's one unique guitarist with a feel and heart in his music that provides a wonderful experience.
love jimmy’s tone it is excellente’ it’s perfect for the blues-jazz fusion he plays killer unit!
The little smug smiles they give each other when they know they just killed a solo or little riff :) and the others just smile back like damn right you just did that!
What you just watched / listened friends is a clinic / workshop on what it means to be ELITE musicians at the absolute pinnacle of their craft.
Saw him with Col. Bruce Hampton!
I been hooked ever since!!!
RIP Col Hampton!!!
GOD HAS ALL OF THE BEST MUSICIANS!!!
This is my first listen to this band . Excellent. Best wishes from Scotland.
Insane - one of the best solos ever. Go 1M
OMG....these guys are great! That drummer has a monster left handed roll. Holy cow.
I saw this band open for Victor Wooten. Wonderful musicians.
360 degrees of utter sickness. Everyone is on fire and slave to the groove. Sublime.
Sick band! These guys are all insanely good.
Where the hell have I been I've never heard of this band until now. Fantastic band.
I got into this guy back in the 90s with ARU. I don't care much for jam music but Jimmy Herring really is on another level.
Same

Real music, still exists, hallelujah!
Love to hear the B3 plus the inimitable Clavinet. Great musicians all around! Thanks for recording this.
Hung out with Matt and seen him play on a couple occasions. I'd put him playing clavinet up there with Stevie.
All these dudes aging like the finest wine, badass playing, can't believe I never heard of these peeps. Stellar and groovy
Been diggin' Jimmy Herring's music since I first saw him with the Aquarium Rescue Unit in Atlanta a hundred years ago. Just keeps getting better.
Ah there are so many players I'd love to see him jam with. Sad I didn't know about Jimmy sooner, he's just great.
holy shit what a find!! thank you
I was getting chills listening to this, and don't know why? I guess no guitar players these days try to push to this limit anymore. This is otherworldly stuff ... Jimi Hendrix was a bad dude playing in a trio !!!!!
Jimmy has gotten better since this video believe it or not.
Tight as a new rubber band! Nice to hear real music from real musicians. Crapola on the radio, etc. can't match up.
Couldnt agree more... real music
Wow! I have to check out more Jimmy Herring. Never heard him before today but that is going to change.
I'm listening to this guy play for the very first time and he's one of the best... damn!
I would pay a hell of a lot of cash to have this quality of a jimmy herring band dvd!
Omg!! I can’t believe how GREAT these cats are!!
MONSTER musicians, every one of 'em. Wow!
Holy Fuck that was tight. I love that drummer, damn that was fucking killkill! Perfect.
Incredible musicianship
Nice funky groove....Love this ~
Where have I been?!?! This dude is incredible...I'm a changed man.
And that's how it's done, ladies and gentlemen. These guys are the quintessential "hip cats on the scene "! Great groove, hip outside lines and general nonchalant musicality. Great big fun that is sadly uncommon among younger musicians these days.
pure magic!!! from col hamtpon, to jerrys spotlight... this man is always spot on.
Probably my favourite performance ever. Always come back to watch it and I’m always as blown away as the first time. So much talent.
That drummer is SICK!
That drummer is SIPE! And he's coming back in May to teach a master class!!
Absolutely amazing Jimmy & his friends. Groovyfunky in all senses. It makes me happy. Come to Europe mates!
These guys just paved my road then tore it up. Who knew contractors were such shredders!?!
I love this guy. Jimmy, where ya been all my life?
Jimmy is one of the best out there today
Whoowww, I still keep on saying this after listening over and over again ! What a great guitarist, band and song 😀👍
Wow , just Wow . no words for what Jimmy has become . Kudo´s
super groovy martha fockers! Thanks for posting and amazing!
Sweet tone, tight band and you gotta love a guitarist that shreds with flavor!!!!!!
That tone. Holy crap. Incredible. That phrasing...tasty as hell. One of my favorites, and a classy guy.
At 3:28 my friggin head practically exploded.
My Gosh! What a gorgeous playing!
Wow!!!! the real deal Real Musical talent and a lot of it. Pleasure to see and hear
Just got here due to a suggestion by Rick Graham.......holy crap!!! He wasn't kidding, killer playing!
Hi..From an english drummer living in france....
ILOVE the way you play....!!!!
Holy smokes this was cool AF!🕺🏾🕺🏾🔥🔥✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💯💣🤘🏾👌🏾👍🏾👊🏾
Great stuff, Jimmy is top notch, love this band he put together great musicians
This is just all around good....everytime I watch it!! Great inspiration!
How can there be 79 miserable souls on the entire planet who would gives this a thumbs down?!?!?
Jeff Sipe is a drum god.
Very nice! I just stumbled on this guy tonight.
Fabulous to hear the fun these guys are having together... just stellar playing all round without a single showoff lick - they don't have to have to prove anything to anybody!
Kudos to the fantastic section. In Seoul, Korea...

Haha that's what I'm doing right now! Coffee and Jimmy Herring. Certainly a great way to start the day!
SLO or fast,,no problem Jimmy’s got it! Sounding awesome thanks for the share!
I saw Jimmy live at the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival in 2017, the man is amazing.
Love the way Herring incorporated 4th intervals and diminished scales in his soloing ...really sounds nice and "outside"
I was just thinking that. He started off in Chicago Blues style, which is near and dear to my heart, then somewhere in the middle ended up in Holdsworth mode playing crazy fast and playing outside Legato runs. what a badass combo eh? Soul and Technicality, unbeatable!

Fabulous groove !
Love it! The guitar riffs are so good.
Brings tears to my eyes, it's so damn good. ❤❤❤Jimmy

What a treat 😍😍😍
Incredible, nice guitar jazz blues touch.
This may the most intellectual core of music I ever seen. Wow!
Freakin' awesome fusion! In my humble opinion Jimmy Herring is the king of the Georgia jazz/rock guitarists.
All I can say is... WOW. Simply excellent!!!!!
outstanding simply outstanding.
You guys are killing it. That drummer! Those keys!
COOL STUFF GUYS. SURE WISH FOLKS AROUND HERE COULD HANDLE THIS FUNK AT THE OPEN MICs.
Voice is everything. It is who you are. Yesterday I ordered breakfast with my guitar.
So good
Oh man, I ABSOLUTELY love Jimmy Herring's playing.
I like the way he gets the outside stuff twisting your ear, but like you were expecting it. Only just recently discovered Jimmy, but very cool.
Fabulous!!! Great playing by all
Awesome....thanks for sharing this!
you guys are great. I feel like I am listening to Dave Weckl. specially beginning of the music.
4 absolute masters of their craft.

Good lord. I kind of forgot just how good Jimmy Herring is. THis freakin' ROCKS!!!! I will be listening to more of this later on today.
I just like the lines of Jimmy! Incredible good music.
Great band and giant Drummer
Ah, a Modulus 6 with that solo at 4:34 and nod the the keyboard player. Great band guys!
these guys play great together!!!!
