I love that clip. JJ's got way more bad ass going on in that video than I'll ever have. It also reminds me of how great flats on a Jazz Bass can sound.
2 days away from the 40th anniversary of King Curtis's murder. Such a fantastic sax player. But to this video and Jemmott is absolutely killing it! Became a big fan of King Curtis thanks to Duane Allman playing with him. Such great great music...
I learned this Bass Riff many many years ago. I hadnt heard that song in years and it rekindled some great memories.Thanx for posting. JJ was an inspiration to many in that era.
I'm listening to the King Size Soul album now. Not 100% sure if JJ is on this whole album or not. I love this sound. The strings add a really nice vibe to it.
This was recorded 2 weeks after King Curtis' death, and only 2 months before Duane himself would die. Bittersweet to say the least. Speaking of which, that was 40 years ago come 8/26.

Check out KCurtis Games People Play with Duane on slide and SITAR! King Curtis Feat. Duane Allman - Games People Play (1969) - YouTube They also played together on Aretha Franklin's version of The Weight, which led to another instrumental version of the song being credited to King Curtis, with the same musicians that's slightly different. Two of my favorite musicians...
