Hey friends, I was honored to sit down with the 'Groovemaster' Jerry Jemmott.
Jerry is one of the greatest session bassists of all time and his style has majorly influenced modern bass playing. With credits ranging from BB King, to Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin and many more, his resumé is packed with the finest artists in Blues, Jazz, Soul and R&B.
Jerry has a fascinating musical journey. He tells us about his early musical influences, discusses what he believes to be essential to his success, and talks working with King Curtis, BB King, Al Kooper, Eddie Gòmez, Jaco Pastorius and touring with Aretha Franklin.
Jerry also shows off his favourite basses and amps, including the bass he used with BB King, and discusses several modifications me made to that bass throughout the years.
I hope you enjoy the video! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing,
Warren

Hi Friends, Jerry Jemmott is a hero of mine! I feel very blessed to be able to talk to him and hear his journey! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Jerry is such a sweet heart !!
Thanks very much Darlene!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I, too, have had the greatest pleasure in my conversations with Jerry. He inspired me to make it happen, the bottom line to his music, the fabulous and unheralded work with his Souler Energy -- music that must be sought out and supported. Some of his best work ever and it is muscular and unbelievably FUNKY!
WOW, if there's one bass player I'd LOVE to work with it would be Jerry! I'd love to sit back with a simple groove on the drums and just let him play.....OH MAN!
Thanks so much for this experience Warren, great job as always.
I've just sent a donation to Jerry's fundraiser, what a great system, it's going to be amazing. Might get his book too!
Thanks ever so much AJay! You Rock my friend! I really appreciate your great comment!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What a good guy! Jerry has indeed played with many of the greatest musicians of our generation. Thanks for the interview Warren.
Thanks very much Ken! Agreed, Jerry is one of the greatest ever! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
My hero too. Best solo break ever, Soul Stew. That's the one that got me hooked. man he's great!!!
Wow! Thank you very much for this fabulous interview. I am really impressed that you did this. Interviews like these really get the word out directly from great musicians. I also thought you did a marvelous job of asking great questions and then sitting back and letting Jerry talk. We all can learn so much from greats like this, Thank you!
I also grew up around NYC, I am older than Jerry's 1980 ESP neck and was fortunate to get into a Jersey City studio circa 1968 at age 15. I can remember going up and down NYC knocking on doors of CBS, A&M, Atlantic, and others trying to get them to listen to our recordings. And the music stores, Manny's on 48th st. and dozens more up and down the street. I know now the path I took compared to the path that was being laid down. As we sometimes hate to admit, Momma was right all along! I took a long U-turn and went back to school and learned some upright bass, and polished my reading skills somewhat. Now that work is 20 years old... I know it is timeless like Jerry's bass lines and I am looking seriously to the future and bringing some of that soulful old school music to today's audiences that are now my grandchildren and friends!
Hi Peter, wow! Thanks for sharing your incredible story! I really appreciate it! Great to see you encouraging the next generations to make music! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What a great interview! Experience is something money just cannot buy. Loving your channel!
Great interview as always it's such a blessing that you bring legends to our screens. This was another great one, top of the list interview. Keep up the great work Warren!
Thanks ever so much Jerry! I agree, Jerry is a true legend! I love being able to talk to guys like him and being able to bring to many new people! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks for doing this interview; a really important figure in bass guitar, and comes accross as a real gentleman too.
This is so great, thanks!
Thanks Daren! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This video was a myriad of colors to me!...so insightful...I'm appreciative!
So refreshing. A most accurate, informative, and educational video, void of plug-ins and super-computers, focusing on skill and hard work. Thanks Warren, and Mr. Jemott!
Hi princetonaudio.com, thanks for the great comment! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
It would be nice is everyone could start with Mr.Jerry, an EMI plate, A few echoplex's, a few old RCA ribbons, a few U47's, an old transformer based console, some EPQ-1A's, some LA2A's, a 16 track 2", and a 1/2 inch 102. Then, and after that, migrate to a DAW, but one part at a time.
Yes indeed! We love the sound of everything analog, DAW's give us such freedom though!! Creativity is definitely king! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
again feels like we are hanging out with you guys these are just fantastic great work guys
Hi Toilet-Tunes that's great to hear! I loved taking to Jerry! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
A fantastic interview with a long time hero of mine as well. Jerry's just like I'd expect him to be, laid back, generous with his information and full of great stories. Thanks Warren!
Hi Danny, I agree! Jerry is an amazing guy! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Cool Interview!
Thanks very much Aldo! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Legend. Great interview.
Agreed 100%! Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Bloody awesome. Thanks for doing all this Warren... documenting the legends, the stories and their gear.
Hi Rino, I really appreciate your kind words!! Yes, Jerry is an amazing Artist and I am so grateful to be able to give him more of a voice! What a great talent! I am humbled! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
no, thank you!! It's all super motivating and learning. I wouldn't have looked up King Curtis if not for this, and dig out those old BB cuts. It's all connected.
Fantastic! Great to hear the voyage of musical discovery that Jerry's greatness creates! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Man, what a treat! Jerry is a giant! I love the albums he played on, I love his work! Who's next? Carol Kaye? Thanks Warren for bringing us consistently great content, and thanks Jerry for everything!
Hi noisesoundtonevibe, thanks very much! Please share! Let's get more people to know him! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks, Get another interview
Hi Warren, just found and subscribed to your channel. Only watched some recording training vids so far. Well done! Tx so much for giving back to we amateurs. I just wanted to give appreciation and respect. It's nice to see when someone's hard work, talent, and absolute passion come together to make them successfully living their dream! Also like to see another person passionate about Spitfires... maybe aviation or planes too with the B17 Parking sign? Want to let you know when I'm watching your UA-cam playlist on autoplay the vids aren't playing in lesson order like some other sites. Tx again! Best wishes.
Great interview
Thanks very much KPM!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
When I first started playing bass I bought a crazy not-quite-seafoam-green thing at a music store in Hong Kong that carried mainly obscure Asian brands. I had no idea what it was, despite endless searching on the internet, until just now. Very cool to see that it was designed for this bass legend and wasn't just a fluke.
Very cool!
Thanks very much Neil! You Rock!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
A living legend
Great stories, cool guy!
I agree! Jerry is an amazing talent and a wonderful guy! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What an amazing career filled with great music and stories. Thanks for this interview--loved it! I think the radar tech he referred to on the BB King session was probably a young Bill Szymczyk.
Thanks RJ! I agree! Jerry is a wonderful talent and his story is really inspiring! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Awesome. A very enjoyable conversation. I really like him. Checking out ColorSoundMusic next thing.
Thanks Loren! Yes, Jerry is amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Amazing.
Thanks Musa! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
..that damn Bb! haha!! // Appreciate the bit about his J-bass being nicked and the engineer being so surprised that Jerry still sounded the same on the P-bass. // Is great to see how serious Jerry is about practice and pushing new levels. - There's Music in Everyone! Much Love to Jerry!! Cheers!
Hi Frederick, I know, what an amazing story! Stolen from the Studio he was working at? Crazy! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Check this out: Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis Live at the Fillmore West - Jerry Jemmott on Bass, Bernard Purdie on Drums and Cornell Dupree on Guitar. These guys can PLAY!
Jerry detailed the bass pattern in a Guitar Player Magazine interview, which I no Longer have. But I still got the bass pattern! Glad to hear his story after all these years
- from a fan
Thanks very much Watersland Studio! Amazing lineup! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
wow, the man that inspired Jaco... Great interview!
Yes indeed Eric!! Thanks! Yes, Jerry is the man!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great interview. LOL Jerry's squeaking chair , every time he moves as he speaks - hahahaha
Squeaking and speaking! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thank you Warren. You too brother! :)
You're very welcome! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, this is an excellent interview with Jerry who is truly a first class man! I really appreciate this - thanks for sharing. Now since I did not see a way to contact Jerry on his website, would you please let him know that the shopping cart is not configured properly and nobody can purchase There's Music In Everyone! eBook (Revised Edition) because when you click the add to cart button you are directed to the PayPal home page instead of the item being added to the cart. All other items on the merchandise page function correctly. Plus the audio tracks in the There's Music In Everyone! eBook (Revised Edition) seem to be missing too. Thanks for your assistance with this.
Peace!
Thanks very much Jeffrey for your kind words! I will let Jerry know! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The first time the bottom of my trousers flapped on stage was when our bass player played through an Acoustic bass rig. Lol I'll never forget his face.
Hi Paul, haha that's a great story! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren. Pointing out the Polytone amp made me curious. I don't think I have ever heard of them unless I somehow didn't take note enough of them when I looked through old bass player magazines, back in high school. After looking them up I was, of course, bombarded with so many past models. Which is the the model that Jerry was using in the video and are there any other legendary models in the past that stick out over others?
Hi Lazlo, great question! When I was a kid there was just one small combo that I remember that was out there! I always wanted one! I will have to check with Jerry what the exact model was! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Nice job - you found another ZEN Bass Master ....also? it seems like you had a marvelous time, ya know, umm, recording and mixing...
Nice guy. You have to be to get the gigs and make connections.
Hi Flemingway! Yes, Jerry worked very hard to get good at his craft to get offered gigs! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I just think that one has to be one of those very very special snowflakes to dislike Warren Huart. To me, whenever he speaks it's just pure optimism. It makes learning very easy. One of the traits of a happy person i guess. Thanks Warren!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Hakan! Jerry is such an amazing talent! I am blessed to be able to interview heroes of mine like Jerry! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
agree
Thanks ever so much Jaser!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Jaser Blades xs3ekskwowF
Whoop Bass PLAP! :D
Thanks Steve! Yes! Bass! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Love the diversity mate! Do you think you might do a rundown of your daily ear training rituals?
Thanks Steve! Glad to be able to help! Jerry Rules!! Yes, that's a great idea for future videos! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The wood beginning with B is Bubinga I think.
Thanks Paul! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I can understand it in the case of the basses sitting on stands, but vertical photos for the combo? On a widescreen-format video? Surely you're not teenagers now, are you? :)
Dude wrote the music history, his riffs are part of the music language. But just live in an average room. Some dudes even can not play bass for shit, but made millions dollars...I quite don't understand
