The surface of planet Jazz is covered with Red Clay and Jack Wilkins is the master sculptor.

[@JohnPrepuce]

Probably the definition of an underrated guitar player. Jack Wilkins is one of my favorites.

[@DaveLynchJazzGuitar]

Jack was one of THE greatest guitar players on the planet!! PERIOD.

Legendary

[@aidanarundell3120]

I've been trying to find tabs for this or even someone covering it I want to learn this song as per the Windows album so bad, absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it! What a talent 🤯

[@declanagee2806]

Look up red clay by Freddie Hubbard, you might find better results. Tribe sampled that version because it has Ron Carter on Bass.

[@danielnicholas2257]

Awesome

[@MrWang-uy5ec]

He deserved a better drummer. *Edit: I went back and did some research. If that truly is Mike Clark playing drums in the back then I stand corrected. Mike Clark has great chops, decades of experience, and is clearly a very skilled drummer. I just didn't love how he approached this performance.

[@chipstern1]

Jack would vigorously disagree.

[@beetknot]

Master

[@alisonCNboy]

omg！

[@loserlab5946]

Jesus

[@barthelemygarceau157]

a better drummer would have been nice, sad that the only good sounding drumpiece is the snare but good enough

[@chipstern1]

Huh?

[@barthelemygarceau157]

@@chipstern1 Bad drum kit sound. Tried to like the song couple months ago

[@itbmcmxiv]

My style is kinda fat reminiscent of a whale…
