This is the Garcia piece recorded originally by The Grateful Dead and issued on LP "Blues for Allah" (1975). This version is from album "Blue Light Rain" (1998): Alphonso Johnson - bass, Billy Cobham - drums, Jimmy Herring - guitar, T. Lavitz - keys.

Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny.

Sorry to play the stereotypical youtuber who makes an extreme comment right quick, but I think Jimmy Herring probably has the best feel of just about any guitarist out there. The guy has always had killer licks but it seems like somehow he's managed to make the same licks tastier and tastier as he gets older. Tone so good I could eat it with a spoon!

This quality doesn't do the production justice. The engineering on this album is perfect

Saw Billy Cobham and Alphonso together with Tom Scott and Steve Khan in a smokin' show at Valley Forge theater in the round. Stage wouldn't turn without help because Billy's drum kit was so massive. he had some toms that were filled w/ h2o , I think. Narada Michael Walden opened.

America has thousands of great guitarists; among them Jimmy Herring stands out as a virtuoso in his instrument. The guy is just amazing!

Sort of John Tropea style. Jimmy is sooo good.

I have to agree with that. The Fox Theater recordings with Sipe are easily my favorite JID tunes to listen too.

I remember when Cobham used to play with Mahavishnu. Christ I'm old.
