A Life of "Cold Fusion" with Bassist Jimmy Haslip
Jimmy Haslip was born December 31st, 1951 in the Bronx, New York. He grew up in Huntington, Long Island. In 1963 at the age of 13, he became interested in electric bass and has now been playing for 47+ years. Jimmy left New York in 1969 playing music in San Francisco, New Orleans, Denver and Dallas before moving on to Los Angeles in late 1975, where he began touring and recording with many different popular artists. In 1978 he met guitarist Robben Ford and keyboardist Russell Ferrante and formed a group to record Robben's first solo recording on Electra-Asylum.
This critically acclaimed album, called " The Inside Story" became a landmark recording. That album led to the formation of The Yellowjackets and in 1980 they recorded a debut album for Warners Bros. Records... which lead to 2 Grammy's and 17 Grammy Nominations. Jimmy was also nominated for an Edison award in 2000 and another Grammy nomination, his 18th for the Jeff Lorber Fusion "NOW IS THE TIME" recording which he co-produced.
