The ASC is thrilled to welcome legendary bassist Jerry Jemmott to the ASC for a half-day workshop on February 21 at 1 p.m. Workshop is open to all musicians! For more information contact Kimberly Kirklin at kkirklin@uab.edu.
I can't say enough about Jerry Jemmott...both on a personal and professional level....Jerry Jemmot is one of the most influential session bassists of all time...not only because of the landmark recordings he was a part of (B.B. King's The Thrill is Gone, Aretha Franklin's Think....to name a couple) but because of the way he raised the bar for every rhythm section that came after him. The best of the best refer to him as "The Groove Master"....for good reason. Listen to King Curtis Live at the Fillmore for a small sample of what Jerry is capable of....truly amazing. Jerry is just as relevant today as he was 40 years ago. He is currently touring with the Gregg Allman Band.
Jerry has a heart for his students. His depth of musical knowledge and his real world practical experience is unmatched.....best of all....he loves to share it. He has a very generous sprit and a teachers heart. I have the privilege of calling Jerry a good friend....every time we hang up the phone, I feel the need to write down some pearl of wisdom he accidentally dropped on me....He has had a huge impact on the way I listen and play music.
