Colaiuta/Ford/Haslip
Jing Chi
The Story
"Jing Chi" is a collaboration between renowned guitarist Robben Ford, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan) and bassist Jimmy Haslip (Yellow Jackets, 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".
