(Go down 2 paragraphs and start reading up from there) (They don't give you enough space to say everything you want in one post). I arranged for smeone to video tape the show and Jim got someone to make an audio tape. It was just for Jean and him to have a memento of their reunion. It was a great show. I had asked Jim on the phone before if they could do "Crucifixion". He did it for me in the show. Vince Martin opened the show. I was saddened to hear that Jean died soon after the show.
(Cont. from below) . I called Jim and told him about the interview and he was surprised to hear it. I told him that now that Christopher Guest is talking about them to the media they should do a reunion. Jim said that he lives in Florida and Jean lives in California and he didn't think she'd go for it. Jim emailed me about a week later and said that Jean agreed to do a reunion. One show only not a tour. She wasn't up to that. They wanted to do it in New York City. That's where I live.
I was lucky enough to see the Jim and Jean reunion in new York City March 18, 2006. They were great. I got to know Jim a little through the internet. I had read an interview with Christopher Guest talking about the movie he did called "A Mighty Wind". In the interview he was asked in the characters in the movie Mitch and Micky were fashioned after Ian And Sylvia. Guest said a little but mostly after another duo call Jim and Jean who were a little more hipper that Ian and Sylvia. (to be cont.)

@11xzxzxz i didn't even know about jim and jean.i fully agree about the deaths of the great influences.i think phil just was so involved in his music there was no other answer for him.listen to"outside of a small circle of friends"john was totally a victim.del shannon was a manic depressive who just happened to have a sad moment.all gave us very much.this weekend they are having the annual del shannon car show in his home town of coopersville,mich.i fully agree with your comment.
@nomiclas I didn't know Del Shannon liked cars (easier to see that that the Beach Boys did). I didn't know Del was manic depressive, well so was Phil. Have a great weekend.
I knew Jean a Long Time Ago, and learned she had died only a few hours ago, and I'm still in tears. Thank you for making this easily accessible to people...
To respond on the statement Murray Kauffman (Murray the K)was indeed on WINS for years starting out on the all nite show and then moving the swingin soiree to evenings where he was a fixture until group W flipped to all news in mid 1965.Murray then joined Scott Muni,Rosko and Johnny Micheaels at WOR FM then onto a breif stint at WNBC on Monitor weekends and Toronto as well as WMCA.Fabulous 57 home of the goodguys in 1969 till they flipped to music/talk'The former ninor league catcher did well!!
I don't know how the music world missed Jean and the star power she could've had. She certainly had the looks and the talent. Perhaps it was her choice not to pursue in furthering her career, or just not at the right place at the right time.
Jim & Jean gave us some really good music..My favorite is a song that Murray the K played on the then progressive rock(pre Drake)WOR FM in New York in late 1966 the song was called Whats that got to do with me.What great lyrics that song had I have never heard it anywhere else...
@miketheshanmanmangan That song was the 3rd track on their 3rd album, _People World_, which is now available as a double-album release along with the 2nd album, _Changes_, I think on the Collectors' Choice label. Order it, a great deal!

@miketheshanmanmangan when drake took over they were going to have the songs picked by computer murry the k quit in protest and talked about it on wbai calling up the dj roscoe went into an editorial on the air and was fired did voice overs for cbs sports and a tv show africa today talking about a famine relief convoy that couldnt get fuel for their trucks because of the first war in iraq meanwhile murry th k died of cancer phil ochs comittted suicide...
i've never seen film of jim and jean , whose lp's i've treasured since the 60's . special treat to see this earliest & folkiest incarnation ! their later 2 lp's are available on cd now by the way . thanks !
I had the pleasure to perform with Jim and Jean at their reuinion a few years ago in N.Y.There are not many people today who emulate the true spirit of "FOLK MUSUC" as they have.Jim is an incredible Human Being,,,and Jean for the little time I was blessed with her presence radiated a wonderful passive compassionate beauty.They were so wonderful together and after the show we went out for some beers,and their interaction was reverent and retrospective,the ONENESS of SPIRIT,it was truly precious.
they were at the murry the k show eith the blues project and the cream the one before that had the searchers john mcnally drank too much beer and jumped off he stage twisting his akle
...Jim is alive, kicking and singing still. We had the honor of having him and Patrick Sky give a concert at our house last September. Jim sounds greand and is a quiet and gentle fellow... until you start talking politics (or the Universe)! 'Still 'avid' after all these years ;-) -steve
Wow, thanks so much! There was a posting for a while of their minor chart hit (and regional hit): "People World" at Folk City or some such place, but it was taken down (for copyright?). I don't know of anywhere that these clips are commercially available... Anyhow, this is one of the best cuts on their first album, but I've grown to love all three. I wish I could've made the reunion concert.
Jim & Jean broke up in the early 70's. They reunited a few years ago for one show back East. I think Jim is still involved in music and Jean passed away in 2007.
Any idea what happened to them? Their rendition of Phil Ochs' "Changes" is the best. Interesting connection between Jean and Art Linkletter. Thanks for posting.
jim said he came from ohio [like phil ochs his roomate ] it must have been right after this show that they went to new york to record their secound album with some phil ochs songs that had never been recorded before .
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh real sorry to hear Jean passed on. The hardest deaths for me to take were Phil Ochs a suicide & John Lennon a murder & Del Shannon a suicide.
