I'm still waiting for mine to arrive :-(
 
Graeme

Thanks pals,
 
Gregory, you know I can't offer any tix but if you DO get to that show let me know where you end up sitting.  Perhaps I can find you before we start...  If you make it I hope you enjoy it and then have a good gig on Saturday.
 
Steve, same thing, let me know where you'll be sitting.  Thanks for the comment on the record, it came out mighty good.  And not to toot MY horn but to toot the TEAM's horn; last week the #1 album on Billboard's Top 200 was ALL ALEMBIC in the bass department.  Ha!  Of course #1 doesn't mean exactly what it did a few years back, but it still means something.
 
Graeme, what's up with the Royal Post?  Hope you like it once it arrives.  Some nice new JT songs!  By the way, you can also buy 96/24 hi-def audio versions on HDTracks and Pono.  I think of that as an encouraging trend!
 
All the best,
Jimmy J

Indy's the closest to Chicago???  Bummer.
Have a good tour.
 
Peter

Oh no, I'm good on tix! The only hitch is coordinating travel plans so as to get at least a few hours sleep, and not miss my rehearsal or soundcheck Saturday.  
 
I'll touch back here when it gets closer. :thumbsup: Have a great tour, and safe travels!
 
ps - Go team Alembic. =)

Our Tickets are row PP, Section 400, seats 427-430.  Hope to see you in Hartford tomorrow nite.

OK Steve I'll try to find you. Either way I hope you enjoy the show.
Jimmy J

Steve,
 
I hope you and your gang were able to make it to the show last night, I'm sorry I missed you.  I know you weren't there before 8pm because I was sitting in your seat until then!  But I suspect traffic and / or the Whey Station macaroni & cheese food truck line may have slowed you down.  All good!  
 
If you were there I hope you all enjoyed it.  If you have any questions about the gig, the music, the production, mysterious bass notes, etc, post them here.
 
And thanks for supporting the tour!
Jimmy J

?.Great video!!

That was nice!  Thanks for posting; put a smile on my face.

Thanks friends.  A very silly song, complete with an almost musical train-wreck.  HA!    
Always big fun playing with those guys!
 
Jimmy J

Hey there Jimmy J... I finally got all my travel plans hashed out, and hoping to catch up with you tomorrow evening in G-boro.  
 
*Strictly if you have time*, I'm in Section 115 Row MM Seat 11, but I could meet up with you just about anywhere or anytime after they let us in... of all reasons to be early, I'm coming to Greensboro earlier in the day to look at a Craigslist vehicle, (could be my next gig-mobile!) so I should be near the front of the lineup.
 
ps - FWIW, I listened three times and though I couldn't spot the almost trainwreck, there are some terrifyingly sudden transitions in that tune. Looks like you guys are having a ball on that gig!

Hey Gregory,
 
Good luck with the vehicle search.
 
It's a 7:30 downbeat so doors are 6:30.  If you head for your seat I'll try to find you there and we can hang for a bit.  I have other guests tomorrow but can search for them later.  
 
Thanks for supporting the team, hope to see you there!
 
Jimmy J

Yessir, will be there asap. Thanks JJ! Look for the Alembic t-shirt. =)

Greg; my guess on the averted trainwreck is 5:00 in; the transition out of the bluesy guitar solo.  Go back a ways so that you get the feel of the tempo.  Jimmy's leading the band through the tempo changes, and on that one they weren't quite with him.
 
One of the highlights for me in this video was the transition from the keyboard to the guitar solo; very nice change of speed and feel.  And I loved the guitar solo.

After I watched that one last night, I watched this one, .  At 2:36 Jimmy does this really cool rhythmic thing on top of Gadd's beat leading into a delightful exchange of licks with the guitar player.  The whole tune was fun, but I really enjoyed that part.  This is a great band; I'm loving what all the players are doing.
