[@lightninginmyhands4878]

This is the highest level of Dad-jazz I've witnessed.

[@bassmania84]

it is potent..

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

"jazz"?

[@ClamsAnonymous]

what does dad-jazz mean?

[@davidscott1052]

@@ClamsAnonymous yes ...what the f### does that suppose to mean !!!!

[@8OBO8]

@@ClamsAnonymous I guess bluesy jazz-rock. Steely Dan type shit

[@Dube230]

That drummer is incredible

the great Jeff Sipe! Check out all the people he's played with through the years.

[@Yngsatchvai]

Yes! I usually come.for the guitarists. But a few drummers stand out. This cat and Dave Weikle are 2!!!

[@lexilambesis]

You mean apt q248?

[@jeffchandler8195]

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.

[@michaelmolloy5718]

Fucking terminator

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

Band is smokin and the drummer is ON FIRE.

[@timbuktew]

Jeff Sipe. Killer musician, and a nice guy to boot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHO5dqmXdthlfJo

[@timford8551]

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

[@itemps]

[@scccott]

Yep. Total Ace.

[@scccott]

@@timford8551 It's wonderful to see him with so many acts!

[@chitownstoneman]

Holy crap... I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I have never heard of Jimmy Herring until tonight. Thanks KZbin recommendations. I think I have a lot of interesting music in my future

[@idk7165]

Never a bad place to start. Go see him with his small acts like this where he can really let loose.

[@freehahahafree]

Check out his Aquarium Rescue Unit stuff. The dude is one versatile guitarist.

[@shawnnerveza5563]

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.

[@shawnnerveza5563]

@@freehahahafree omg I just said the same thing!

[@freehahahafree]

@@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!

[@lmp9726]

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.

[@yembot]

was curious if that was Sipe

[@unitywindowdoor2260]

Actually he had been umpiring a little league game, but walked dog after this jam

[@urbanbader4113]

Funny but this is incredible he's doing

[@mattdickey2717]

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.

[@Yourguitarworkshop]

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

[@z_sloathe5672]

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.

[@dannyskrims5243]

Matt Dickey It's the pinnacle of technically adept Dad Rock.

[@shred5]

Believe it or not, I've seen him make a mistake on a video on KZbin 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.

[@Kingfish179]

If you haven't, listen to John Scofield. He also has a unique style that blends jazz, blues and rock.

[@phoebeelvin2816]

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!

[@blucheer8743]

love jimmy’s tone it is excellente’ it’s perfect for the blues-jazz fusion he plays killer unit!

[@manuelgchapajr4472]

Saw him with Col. Bruce Hampton! I been hooked ever since!!! RIP Col Hampton!!! GOD HAS ALL OF THE BEST MUSICIANS!!!

[@Dan-ez6dr]

I don't know how I got here but man am I glad I found this band. 👏👏👏👏

[@justing42]

Widespread Panic…he kills it

[@fibo12358]

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.

[@RobertoDiPaola]

Great band and giant Drummer

[@charliemcleod764]

This is my first listen to this band . Excellent. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@redghost3170]

That drummer is SICK!

[@Miraverse]

That drummer is SIPE! And he's coming back in May to teach a master class!!

[@lmp9726]

360 degrees of utter sickness. Everyone is on fire and slave to the groove. Sublime.

[@lennymo9088]

I saw this band open for Victor Wooten. Wonderful musicians.

[@corywilliams9680]

OMG....these guys are great! That drummer has a monster left handed roll. Holy cow.

[@mrmojopc]

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!

[@darkmoneyyyyy237]

Insane - one of the best solos ever. Go 1M

[@tomwallenfeldt3139]

This may the most intellectual core of music I ever seen. Wow!

[@Joshualbm]

Jeff Sipe is a drum god.

[@rodneycastillo5785]

Where the hell have I been I've never heard of this band until now. Fantastic band.

[@feathersax]

Tight as a new rubber band! Nice to hear real music from real musicians. Crapola on the radio, etc. can't match up.

[@PaulSteelePodcast]

Couldnt agree more... real music

[@tomtellor3927]

Real music, still exists, hallelujah!

[@stevai6732]

All these dudes aging like the finest wine, badass playing, can't believe I never heard of these peeps. Stellar and groovy

[@leftywilliamsmusic]

Sick band! These guys are all insanely good.

[@TheBadSpoon]

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.

[@csisalesbasics673]

Great feel and smoky smooth funk. Like a timeless bourbon. Nothing sounds like a Hammond. Very tasty

[@StratOnFire]

I'm listening to this guy play for the very first time and he's one of the best... damn!

[@frankcox8400]

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.

[@phile3741]

Same

[@STSGuitar16]

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.

[@edphaze6550]

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.

[@dallastoto3189]

Omg!! I can’t believe how GREAT these cats are!!

[@rplum712]

I would pay a hell of a lot of cash to have this quality of a jimmy herring band dvd!

[@babbalouie3166]

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.

[@tyshred9251]

These guys just paved my road then tore it up. Who knew contractors were such shredders!?!

[@TedKraut]

First time I saw and listened to Big Jim was back in the early 90s when he was with the Col Bruce Hampton All soul

[@theprisonier]

so cool ! thank you guys for this musical moment

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 !!!!!

[@TheShredMasters]

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!!
