![]() ![]() It's amazing that all of the iconic records Ronnie has played on were mostly first takes on his part. The Rolling Stones have been my favorite band since I was a kid so getting to work and play with Ronnie is literally a dream come true. The Jams are just the two of us live in the studio without the band. Ronnie and I also played two improvised Jams that open and close the album like bookends. Ronnie plays a great solo and outro slide solo on the song. I covered a tune from Ronnie's latest album called 'I Gotta See'. “Ronnie and I hit it off fantastically and stayed in touch so when I started a second record I was hoping he would play on it. Jeff is credited as 'Hot Rod' on 'Orleans To London' because his manager wouldn't let me use his name. 'You can't believe how lucky you are, he won't play on anything!' I'm not sure what Ronnie told him about the Neville's being on the record but it was amazing having both those guys on the record. Ronnie said, 'I told Jeff Beck about your project and he might come by to play' - I was in shock! About 2 hours later Jeff showed up and ended up playing on 3 tracks. ![]() Three weeks later my wife and I flew to London and went to Ronnie's house in Richmond were he played on 5 tracks (first takes). As I was near the end of the project in October 2004 I got in touch with Ronnie Wood through his stepson (Jamie Wood) who was his manager at the time and told him about my project. Anyway a few years later I recorded my first CD 'Orleans To London' and Art Neville, Ivan Neville, Cyril Neville and Mean Willie Green (Neville Bros drummer) played on it. It was a wedding gift as I got married a week before (This was April 1999). Art Neville did me a huge favor and called Jane Rose for me to meet Keith and Ronnie. Ronnie and Keith Richards were hanging out with Bobby Womack in the 'Tuning Room' were they Jam to warm up before the show. Jimmy recalls, “I first met Ronnie backstage at a Stones show in Las Vegas. McIntosh's friendship with Ronnie Wood goes back to his solo debut, 'Orleans to London'. It was a dream come true for me to create this CD with three major heroes of mine and who have also become very good friends over the years.” I had mentioned to him that I was doing this album and he said, 'Hey, if you still have room on your CD, I'd love to play on it.' So that came to fruition as well. Then John happened to come through town with Phil Lesh & Friends just a few months ago. Mike's playing on this album is just brilliant. I've jammed with Mike several times and asked him, 'If I make another record, will you play on it?' And Mike said 'sure'! Toss Panos, John Humphrey and I went into Toss's North Hollywood studio with Mike when he was in Los Angeles playing with his band at Catalina's. ![]() The Vegas Blue Note was short-lived, but I was there almost every night for the duration of their gigs. Says Jimmy, “I got to know John and Mike about 12 years ago when there was a Blue Note jazz club in Las Vegas and became good friends with both of them. This stellar outing was definitely a labor of love for McIntosh.įor 'Jimmy McIntosh and.', McIntosh recruited Scofield and Stern from his home base, Las Vegas. The solid backbeats are supported by Toss Panos (drummer of choice for guitarists Robben Ford and Mike Landau), bassists Dan Lutz, John Humphrey and Keith Hubacher and New Orleans keyboardist Ivan Neville (of The Neville Brothers, Keith Richards' X-Pensive Winos and Dumpstaphunk). ![]() Las Vegas, NV - As a follow up to 2006's 'Orleans to London', guitarist Jimmy McIntosh once again finds himself in illustrious company on his new album 'Jimmy McIntosh and.'
