Humble and self-effacing, without a trace of attitude or ego, Jimmy Herring's demeanor nearly belies his status as one of the most acclaimed guitarists of his generation. Plying his skills in contexts ranging from classically song-driven rock to technically demanding jazz fusion, Herrings playing combines a restless, jazz-inspired improvisational zeal with the immediacy and intensity of his rock'n'roll roots. Victor Wooten is an innovator, composer, arranger, producer, vocalist, and multiinstrumentalist. He is a skilled naturalist and teacher, a published author, a magician, husband and father of four, and a five-time Grammy award winner. But those gifts only begin to tell the tale of this Tennessee titan.
