  • Sure Jack's a blues player. He's also a jazz player, way more so than any other ABB player. Dickey and Duane weren't jazz players. They were jazz influenced. Derek can clearly play some jazz, but none of them are remotely in Jack's league as a jazz player and they'd all tell you that.

    None of them every played with harmonically shifting melodic content the way Jack does and none had the chops you need to play jazz other than Derek.

  • Great stuff from Jack but they're not giving him much to work with. Throw some interesting chord changes at him and watch what he does. He would weave through them like Mr. Miyagi with a turbo and Einstein equations on the chalkboard. That sounds like crazy talk but it's actually a scientifically accurate description of what would happen.

  • @bayouhazard You know that Jimmy Herring played with the ABB for a bit right?

  • ...Weather Report, McLauglin, Yes or tons of other bands. The Allmans stuff is more profound. I'm sure musically if they'd wanted to be more "complex" they could but the music would lose its emotional impact, sincerity, profundity.

  • could provide. Always going for raw emotion and energy in their incredibly dense and richly textured ensemble playing. Not just "jacking themselves off" on stage just for the sake of wowing an audience, thereby losing the depth and sincerity. This is what separates their music, and others I've mentioned, from most others. Jack fit in perfectly with them, with his great great soulful playing. The beauty of it is in his soulful (yet complex) chops over this rich bed of rhythm. This is not..

  • in response to 1Doz, true Jack is amazing, but the profundity of the Allman's music is in tradition of Coltrane, the best of the Dead, Santana,etc..despite having complexity in their arrangements they have never been a band that tries to "out-chop" another band or dazzle you musical complexity such for the sake of dazzling you. Their sound, especially in their rhythm section, is thick thick thick, like a freight train, mean but extremely rich at the same time, not cold like any rock or jazz....

  • You mean jazz-rock.

  • Jack Pearson plays a Santana solo with the Allman Brothers Band as his backing band.
