He's a lefty. But he plays a right handed bass upside-down. That's what was available to him when he was a kid, and he's still doing it. He sounds tremendous.
One of my favorite Jazz groups. I've seen them twice live, and was even fortunate enough to get to meet Russ & Jimmy (haslip) in person. In addition to being some of the world's best musicians, they are also super nice guys!
Wonderful clip! But you all forget the Big Brain of the group: Russell Ferrante! He´s the one who´s often arrange and write the wonderful songs... So amazing on keys. But as an bass player my self i love Haslips play too! Loves Yellowjackets since i first heard them in the 80:s.
Great Song! Great key for a tenor player to express gospel/blues. Everything they play is soulful! Heard them many,many times, live in Sweden! What a inspiration!!
The group where I say Yellowjakets I knew from "Bards of Passage" by Sadao Watanabe. I can listen and am very glad tday. The member plays the music of adult for a cool feelig. Iam splendid.
Señor Jimmy Haslip: Gran Maestro!!!. Mr Jimmy Haslip: Great Master on Bass!!!.Gracias por Tu Mùsica!!. Thanks for Your Music, is beautiful and HQ on taste, feel (melodys, licks, Groove, ALL is Excellent)!!!!!.
Great great video! Stereo sound's great! THANK YOU FOR THIS. Jimmy Haslip and Russell Ferrante are my fav on this group, but anyway Bob and Marcus (who for some reason isn't here) are just amazing musicians as well.
Runferyerlife Thats the studio album, but this live version kicks so much ass. The studio version of Jacket Town is unreal though. Its one of my favorite fusion tunes.
I especially like them with Will on the drums. Could you post "Invisible People"... track #8 on Greenhouse. The audio sucks on the only one that's posted. - thanks
Mes amitiés à WILL KENNEDY ! j'adore votre jeu de batterie! c'est une respiration permanente!,votre groupe est vraiment un super groupe avec de magnifiques compositions!et avec des grands musiciens! de la part de DIDIER D'AGOSTINO batteur FRANCAIS ET PROFESSEUR DE BATTERIE VIDEOS SUR UA-cam ,DAILYMOTION.
@ericssonro Looks like a standard righty 6-string being played by a lefty. I definitely feel for lefty players; it seems your only options are to either pay through the nose for a lefty model (if you can hunt one down), or learn to play righty.
6 Strings the wrong way round on a left hand bass, thats got to be awkward to get your head around, if ever you need to switch instruments in a giffy!!!!! Groovy....

Saw them many times, once in DC. I had four tickets and went alone! I has so much fun!!! Will wrecked everyone!
Bob Mintzer has the most beautiful sax sound that I've ever heard.
best band in the world
These guys are my favorite jazz band. The drummer is absolutely amazing...
The Best!!!!
This song and Relevation...relaxs me like NO other songs...reminds me of my Mom (RIP)...
This is an absolutely mind melting performance. All 4 instruments, and furthermore all 4 musicians working together To create a PERFECT FUSION.
Jimmy Haslip is the Michael Jordon of jazz. Not only can he shine on his own, but like the best bassists, he also makes everyone else better.
During my funeral, I'll have this playing, please.
This is a wonderful group...easy on my mind!
Jimmy Haslip singing what he's playing...love it!!!!
I bow to the boys! Should be given the jazz key to every city on the map! Thanks for the post.
This is my favorite group
One of my favs by them!!
Yellowjackets at their best! Great stuff!
No one sounds as good with this group on bass as Jimmy, no disrespect to anyone else who's taken on the role.
He's a lefty. But he plays a right handed bass upside-down. That's what was available to him when he was a kid, and he's still doing it. He sounds tremendous.
Love these Guys--Talented Jazz --Pros!!

That's the thing about Jazz: It's free flowing, it comes from your soul. Life too is a lot like Jazz...it's best when you improvise.

Bobs the man .
Gosto tanto dessa música que usei ela para entrar em meu
casamento... Solo do baixo é divino.
It's the second cut from 'Run For Your Life' and also features Robben Ford on guitar.

@strwy2hvn94
He's played a fretless since 20 years +....
This is smokin
thats one killer fro on the sax
i never noticed that jimmi haslip used the strings backwards
Rsrs.
the strings are backwards, see the volume knob and tone, they are where they should be :)
This is when Russell Ferrante had hair. No matter, they are a class act!
i was thinking guardala
I especially like them with Will on the drums. Could you post "Invisible People"... track #8 on Greenhouse. The audio sucks on the only one that's posted.
- thanks
Russ should get more credit than he has for keeping the YJ together through the Russo transition. Just awesome.
Jimmy should get a mic so we can hear him grunt properly.
daje cazzo, dajeeeeeeeee...

Mintzer writes a lot of this stuff too.
