GOOD BLESS YOU, JIMMY!
It’s great to see a left handed bass player with a right handed set up We are unique 👍
Jimmy is an out of this world musician!... and a beautiful human being.
one of my very fav bass players!
That bass playing style is definition of insanity, yet Haslip makes miracle!!!
Jimmy, you are a wonderful artist!! love&respect from MOROCCO.
One of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity one time in Kansas City. In fact, I was staying at the same hotel The Yellowjackets stayed at. Got 4th row seats for their show, and it was awesome. They all autographed the marquis poster for me.
Along with John Patitucci & Steve Bailey, Jimmy Haslip was one of the cats that not only inspired me as an electric bassist, his pioneering use of Tobias 5 and 6 string instruments were a catalyst for my own transition in to playing six string bass guitars as a primary instrument. I also had the privilege of meeting and conversing with him after a Yellowjackets set at the Monterey Jazz Festival many years ago; it was both educational and thrilling to have an audience with one of my musical mentors. #respect
Awesome analysis of a superb bass player.
Jimmy Haslip is one of my favorite bass player. He is always "in the music" just like Steve Gadd on drums or Joe Sample at the piano can be (could - refering to recent death of Joe) No show-off... just flows of notes in a perfect timing and harmony. Listen to Michael Francks "Bare foot on the beach" album where the quality of the recording highlights Jimmy's talent even thru recording sessions.
Jimmy you are an awesome musician and I got so much from your book and from listening to all of your albums with the Yellowjackets and your solo stuff over the years. You continue to be an inspiration. God bless you man!
Not since the Jaco Pastorius Weather Report days has there ever been a musician who has taken the bass to new heights as a solo instrument operating in the lead role on a level of a guitar player the Jimmy Haslip has done for the last 40 plus years, his bass playing played a big role in the music of the Yellowjackets and he helped shaped the band's iconic identity that we have all come to know them for. When you hear them, you know straight away who it is and a large part of it is the jaw dropping bass playing. An amazing composer, fantastic bassist and an all round great person, Jimmy Haslip is the whoe package and one of the greatest bass players of all time.
Jimmy was one of the first bassists I really latched onto when I was starting out. What a sound. He still inspires me to this day.
Jimmy is always on The Cutting Edge of Electric Bass Composition and Performing! has a New CD coming soon....
Without question, one of the greatest to ever pick up the instrument. Has the very rare ability to combine virtuosity at a level that most bass players can only aspire to while simultaneously playing in service of the song. The Roy Hobbs of bass players: the best there ever was, the best there ever will be.
Jimmy you’re an awesome person all across the board !
beautiful playing, inspiring, thankyou.
Jimmy The Man!!!!
It's awesome they got Lavar Burton for this video. May the force be with him!
Wish I would have stayed playing upside down like Mr. Haslip...great individual bass style. ..
I'm a right handed bassist that plays with left handed setup...been playing 37 years, but upside down the last 13 or so. I had 2 guitar friends in my town that were lefties playing upside down, it intrigued me so I just wanted to try it. It's a very unique feeling and I loved it. I'm weird and unique so it fits.
I am teaching myself exactly the same way! This does limit your slap and pluck ability though. Haven’t seen much of that from Haslip.
I just wish i had the theory knowledge that he has. Guess i'll have to get off my lazy ass and learn!LMAO
What kind of bass is that?
Left handed AND upside down 🙄
