Bassist Jimmy Haslip talks about playing with Allan Holdsworth 

Hey Samo, thank you so much for documenting this important history! And thanks to Jimmy for telling these stories. What Jimmy doesn't mention here is that he revisited the audio tracks from that DVD, found some alternate takes, did some edits and remixes and released a CD last year called "Proto-Cosmos" on Blue Canoe Records. And it is damn good!

Upsidedown-jimmy is a monster bassist. Seems to be a very chill and humble guy. ❤

Cool interview! Never knew Alphonso Johnson dropped out of the Tony Williams tribute line up. Haslip is great, but would loved to have heard the band w/ Alphonso.

Was at the Oakland shows and that DVD did come out pretty nice. Thanks for the music and the interview.

I love Jimmy Haslip and also Holdsworth -- I've seen Yellowjackets and Holdsworth live over the years -- two masters of their craft. Jimmy's solo in Yellowjackets 'Man Facing North' is so joyful. I agree with him about the Wackerman/Flim rhythm section too -- especially that updated version of Tokyo Dream. Thank you for doing this video -- it is much appreciated!

I really like Jimmy's playing at the Yoshis Show.

Virgil Donati is A MONSTER! What an incredible drummer and a VERY GOOD piano player. Well, ALL his records are incredible!

Great interview. The DVD that Jimmy talks about has wonderful playing from all concerned.

Can we see the full interview?

surprisingly, he didn't cite Gary,,,who is a co-architect of the whole thing......

I'm afraid, but there's no information about how it actually was playing with AH. It's all about names and connections and tours and dates and places. I call this business stuff, as when you're self employed, that's the stuff you worry about.
