Birdland
The main man of Jazz Fusion keyboards played with the amazing Jimmy Haslip on bass at this show. They stayed after the show and mingled with people for photos. Jeff and Jimmy each signed my program, below. Jimmy is a monster bass player who was a founder of the Yellowjackets and who played with Crosby and Stills in the seventies. Jimmy plays an unusual five-string bass and I had a chance to chat with him about it after the show. JC Collier succeeded Jimmy in Bruce Hornsby’s live band and sometimes plays a similar 5-string instrument.
