Jerry Jemmott & Friends 2015 04 11 The Chicken (finale) 

This is great, thanks for the music !

Thanks Jerry, I grew up watching the instructional video you did with Jaco over and over

One of My Bass Heroes and a Major influence on Jaco

Absolutely fabulous!

👍👍👍👍👍

I agree its great, i think his playing is a little busy but its not overbearing at all bc his top priority is keeping the pocket

Thanks to you, Jerry, and to our illustrious friends who were inspired by you to make it happen!

Jerry that Freakin DRUMMER is NASTY!!!!

Tenor saxophone

No, not Bernard.

that would be Nancy Wright and I encourage you to check out her solo work

mpharpsax Thanks for the correction!

I'm a DMar devotee also.

+NewHampshireBoy Hey, thanks for viewing and enjoying the clip. Actually, the South SF Bay area (i.e., Silicon Valley more or less) has become a mecca for this type of music-in particular mid-20th century blues and R&B-and loads of fantastic musicians live here, attracting other greats (like Jerry Jemmott) who pass through and mix it up regularly!

Wants attention!!!

It is!

thanks John. Pugh's been a bad mofo a long time - I remember The Vanilla Gorilla

Jaco didn't write the bass line. It was a cover.

That’s not Jaco’s line. Original by Fred Wesley and Maceo of James Brown fame. Jaco burrowed the song please and the bassline. Check out the original please.

Derrick Martin, AKA D'Mar Music Online. He cut off all his hair, but he can still jump!

Lmao! Jerry and I went to the same High School..and shared mutual friends..it's a small world once you get out there..Good drummer just insane.. must be a restless sort of guy, the kind who can't sit still..lol

Jerry dedicated this tune to Jaco, and talked about their long standing friendship before he played the tune. Pee Wee Ellis wrote the tune, not Jaco, but Jaco and Jerry used to jam on it all the time, and of course, it is closely associated with Jaco. Perhaps to explain, i should inform you that this is a video of one song form a whole evening of music and talking. The band didn't just materialize out of nowhere at the time this video starts. There was lots of music and talking both before and after. Including several nods to Jerry's friend Jaco Pastorius, with whom he shared a mutual admiration. To assume that Jerry would leave that out, just because the video starts right after all that, seems odd to me.

@@KidAndersen In what clip does he dedicate this tune to Jaco? How would anyone know what was said if it wasn't recorded, to assume that people would know this is just asinine. Instead of being a pompous asshole, try not to be a pompous asshole. Does that seem odd to you?
