Joe Ascione here playing one of my favourite percussion instruments - the yellow pages

[@mathiastollefsen]

lol

[@Ojoe2010]

The final level in percussion....

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

An old fashioned instrument...they don't print many of those anymore.

[@UriBorodin]

@@Ojoe2010 yes. Big Sid Catlett and Joe Ascione

[@katiefoxx6095]

Holy... Jimmy is the most underrated guitarist, I'd go as far as saying he's some kind of miracle. One of the best I've ever heard.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

He not underrated, he had just some very bad ideas, hence is not so much around anymore. Hope he comes back.

[@jaskajukunen8182]

He is called miracle kid of gipsy jazz... So he got same name as bireli lagrene💪

[@chicog6295]

I keep coming back to these legendary sessions. Jimmy is unreal, the lick he plays at 2:37 is filthy! He really is unmatched.

[@PaulusCaesar]

I would be paralyzed having to play after Jimmy Rosenberg. Frank Vignola plays, and just nails it: energy, melody, even Bachian echoes. The all package. And staying true to the sinti spirit as well. Inspiring jam

[@nby195]

Boys, men... How wonderful you are! Watching this video we watch so... ... much work, struggle, respect, efforts, fight, ambitions, practically real life. in three minutes.

[@martinnieva8484]

This must be the most epic piece of improvisation ever recorded. The musical dexterity is unbelievable. For those on the path of being a great musician, this video shows you what's that actually like. Three guys with acoustic instruments, nothing more. I think everyone can come to appreciate this video, regardless of taste.

[@R_Thomp]

Lord have mercy, their playing is at such another level, $1,000,000 a show. Jimmy please come back, Frank stellar...

[@TheStrataminor]

If you look carefully at when Frank is doing his solo, it appears to have been speeded up...his head is moving too unnaturally...as soon as I saw it I thought that it looked a tiny bit unnatural..

[@pittbier7597]

@@TheStrataminor its because of his right hand movement that his head is moving unnaturally. The recording isnt sped up mate.

[@brownholecharles]

@@TheStrataminor hahahahha. No, he really does play that fast. faster even, when i saw him about 12 years ago in atlanta

[@gibbygirlhoptoit5361]

wonderful! Everyone is rooting for Jimmy- He is just fantastic. It's as if gypsy jazz is in his soul but it doesn't challenge him - it just comes to easy for him...sometimes being challenged by other things makes you thankful for what you have, like mountain climbing or sky diving, especially when your feet touch the flat ground.

[@JohanMadsenMusic]

Incredibly good guitar playing ...

[@kotlarsaros3648]

excellent ......Jimmy.. Joe..Frank..........

[@katarinapetersson5815]

[@miroslavsafin]

I was actually surprised that Frank can still play decently at this speed both rhythm and solo!

[@baptistetexier9456]

"decently".... he's a virtuoso

[@sedagivemusic5078]

Thought I saw smoke coming of those fret boards😳

[@gauthierbontemps6174]

[@frankvignolaeducation3315]

@@mathiastollefsen I hate to disappoint but sorry, no drugs in my life dude and there was no coke or any drugs used for this session. Just pure inspiration.

[@mathiastollefsen]

@@frankvignolaeducation3315 i was just messing around... you guys were, and are awesome... i espescially like the duo with you and Jimmy when you play Besame Mucho; i play it almost every week.... i had no idea that song was so good:D (did you ever release this cover?) You are living legends, the both of you.

2:30 lick

Jimmy is the only one.

[@CreatedbyLC]

So this is what philosophers mean when they are talking about the higher meaning of life

[@handdancin]

this is so inhuman- try playing just rhythm along to this. jimmy is unreal

[@marcus2515]

Question, If Jimmy wasn't here would this be even an event?

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

Marcus 251 it's not an event with jimmy there either...it's just some musicians practicing in a hotelroom.

[@AnnevanPaulus]

Als dit geen liefde is? Dan weet ik het niet meer......

[@gauthierbontemps6174]

1:38 my favorite part

[@alfonswsrussell7270]

have you got the full recording of these hotel sessions anywhere? Would love to watch the whole thing

[@danielvaneek1605]

Its from a DVD called Frank Vignola's Gypsy Jazz Jam, 2004 New York if you still can find it for sale.

PLEASE FRANK HELP JIMMY ROSENBERG

[@danielvaneek1605]

There's hope yet :) Just noticed Jimmy's official website is back up ( www.jimmyrosenberg.nl/ ).It reads: Latest news 2014 Hello friends of Jimmy Rosenberg, At last we are back online, after being hacked by unknown forces. All of your beautiful letters, poetry, paintings, and biographies, were lost forever by the hacking of Jimmy’s website. If you have copies of the lovely things that you sent to Jimmy, please re-send them, and anything new that you might wish to add. [e-mail] We believe that Jimmy will start to make progress in his career, and his life soon, and we promise to keep you informed of progress. In the meantime, enjoy his music.

[@lulumargaret]

Daniel van Eek hi Daniel, how is Jimmy? And his health? I love his music and appreciate it so much. Can you please give him my best wishes for good health and happiness? Thank you

[@TheStrataminor]

Nahhh he's had it....you won't see much of him for a long time.

[@sumljivc]

You think? I sure hope not, although he let himself go alot, becoming fat...God DAMN IT JIMMY!!! For fuck's sake, dont become another one of wasted talents!
