Just discovered Jimmy Rosenberg today and wanted to share with those who don’t know him and invite those who do, to post their favorite clips/songs of his.
Jimmy is 12 years old in this clip playing with his group “the Gypsy Kids” - skip to 9:18 for the performance of “minor swing”
I’m gonna steal that lick at 10:36 hot damn! Imagine to b e able to play like that at age 12 I think he has some really amazing ideas for his improvisations. What a talent.
His collaborator, Jon Larsen, made a documentary about playing with Jimmy and his fate. Jimmy is still alive today, but I am unsure if he is playing to the public. A sad story but perhaps there is still hope for him.
