Jan Hammer Talks Mahavishnu, Emerson, Hendrix, Jaco … and Getting the JuJu Happening! — Gig Gab 68 Redux

Let’s go back five years together, shall we? Gig Gab was just a year old, and we all were just finding our footing here together. We had the pleasure of having Jan Hammer join us for a conversation in Gig Gab 68, and with both Paul and Dave out for a two week stretch, we figured this was a perfect time to revisit that interview, certainly our most downloaded episode ever. From his start in Prague, the stories flow, including tales about Jan’s experiences with Jeff Beck, Keith Emerson, Jaco Pastorius, Neal Schon, Mahavishnu Orchestra and even Jimi Hendrix. As we wrote in the show notes five years ago: there’s so much packed into these 43 minutes you’ll probably want to listen twice. For some of you, we’ve made that second listening even easier today! Enjoy! This episode has no official sponsors, but we wanted to remind you of our two active deals. The Ultimate Ears one expires this week! SPONSOR: Ultimate Ears Pro.
