On April 17, 2010 a host of guitarists paid tribute to the late, great Jimmy Wyble. Sid Jacob’s performances particularly hit me. I have the honor to share a chair in the LA Wirechoir with Sid and I am always in awe of his guitar mastery. Terry Carter documented the concert and you can follow the link to both of Sid’s performances here: Sid Jacobs from the Jimmy Wyble Tribute Jimmy was an extraordinary musician and human being who deeply touched everyone who knew him. The memorial concert was heartfelt, drawing stellar musicians from all over the country to pay tribute to this wonderful man. Thank you Jimmy! Enjoy Sid Jacobs’ Gershwin medley below…
