Let's Talk About Jake

While I love Umphrey’s, one time I was so spun I thought if Jake could clone himself I would prefer a sextet of Jakes. The dude is an animal. People here seem to hate on the chugging, but we get it, you think it derails jams, it does sometimes, it’s a fallback, but Umphrey’s themselves are rather formulaic at times so it should not surprise you.

What I want here is the best of Jake but not traditional Jake. I want sit-ins, other instruments, etc. I’ll start it off with this Blue Note “Glory” featuring Bill Evans.

Links are always appreciated. Let’s get some keys jams, some bass jams (best version of IVOY?), sit ins (Panic, Conspirator, etc.) and let’s all bask in the Glory that is Jacob Allen Cinninger on stage.

(First one to post a mullet pic gets a copy of Joel’s book ordered to their house if they want it!)

They just play over each other, continuously. Louder and louder one over the other, until our heads explode

Somehow even more egregious than the mullet…

Although I am not a big fan of PPP (don’t mind them either) this Jake sit in with them was pretty awesome.

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I were in attendance and couldn’t stomach PPP so we went for a walk in the gardens. Totally missed the Jake sit in.

Pretty fucking bald. Not sure if Jake or Stasik is worse.

This “Macina Verde” is some of my favorite Jake guitar playing:

A bit restrained, and with this unique tone from him.

Really wish I had the chance to see them. Definitely the best UM sideproject

I went and saw them when they came through SF but Jake’s dad died or something so he wasn’t there. The Ohm set ripped though.

Pretty sure his parents are still alive…

It was a family member. “Or something” implies I don’t remember the details.
