Jing Chi

This is a jazz-rock fusion trio. Robben Ford - guitars, vocals on Going Nowhere Vinnie Colaiuta - drums Jimmy Haslip - bass Jing Chi is a collaboration between renowned guitarist Robben Ford, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan) and bassist Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets, Tommy Bolin, Steely Dan) with special guest appearances by Brian Auger and Steve Tavaglione. Jing Chi brings to mind the essence of classic power trios such as Cream crossed with the adventurous sophistication of The Tony Williams Lifetime, yet leaves room for each player's phenomenal soloing abilities.

Jing Chi is a collaboration between renowned guitarist Robben Ford, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan) and bassist Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets, Tommy Bolin, Steely Dan) with special guest appearances by Brian Auger and Steve Tavaglione. Jing Chi brings to mind the essence of classic power trios such as Cream crossed with the adventurous sophistication of The Tony Williams Lifetime, yet leaves room for each player's phenomenal soloing abilities. However, this record is more than a vehicle for fantastic soloing as the compositions are important, well-arranged pieces of music that exhibit a synergy rarely heard in today's music. Two of the pieces have vocals, Ford singing on Going Nowhere, and Haslip providing space vocals on In My Dream. Instrumental Guitar (Electric / Fusion / Rock)
