Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the 2008 ABB Live Summer Set boxes have arrived! We have to say that this year's edition may be the best-looking one yet. The rich walnut grain, the crisp gold ABB logo, the sharp and functional brass latch, all combine to make this a very classy item. With the serial numbers burned right into the wood, these are truly a collector's item.
Not to mention that this was probably the best year the current lineup has ever had. Playing with passion and precision, they picked up after Gregg's health-related hiatus like they had never been gone, and played some of the best shows we have ever seen!
We have less than 20 unsold 2008 ABB Summer Sets left that we can deliver before Christmas. We will make more sets in January of next year but the price will be slightly higher. Click here to place your order now! If you have already put down a deposit, click here to pay the remaining balance.
We will begin shipping these box sets next week via UPS. Please be sure to provide a shipping address where someone can sign for the delivery of this extraordinary package!

Besides being a part of the Allman Brothers Band's rhythmic foundation for nearly 40 years, Jaimoe has a nearly limitless musical appetite that includes jazz, blues and R&B. When he is not on the road with the ABB, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band is his primary vehicle for exploring other aspects of his muse. Featuring excellent players like Jay Collins of Gregg Allman and Friends, David Stoltz of Dickey Betts and Great Southern, and guitar slinger and vocalist Junior Mack, this is a true all-star band. Playing mainly in his home state of Connecticut, these gigs have become a special treat for New England Peach-heads, and for years we have had people asking if this outstanding ensemble would ever release a CD.
Well, not only are they releasing a CD, they are releasing TWO jam-packed double-disc live sets! These great performances are quite different from each other, but they are both fantastic. The 1/28/06 show from the Double Down Grill features the talented Junior Mack on guitar, and Set One has great versions of the Meters classics "Cissy Strut" and "Hey Pocky Way," as well as a bluesy take on "Steady Rollin' Man." Set Two is jazzier, with stellar renditions of Dizzy Gillespie's "Night In Tunisia" and Wayne Shorter's "Footprints," as well as an electrifying version of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
The 2/27/08 show, dedicated to the memory of legendary jazz drummer Ed Blackwell, is a passionate performance that shows Jaimoe paying homage to one of his primary influences. The delicate "Twilight Waltz" and a haunting version of "People Get Ready" are highlights of the first set, while John Coltrane's "Impressions" and Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" make Set Two an incredible musical journey. We expect to receive these CDs around the end of the year but you can download the shows now. Click here for sound clips and order these incredible shows today!
PURCHASE BOTH CDs AND RECEIVE A DISCOUNT PLUS A FREE DVD OF JAIMOE'S JAZZ BAND! CLICK HERE FOR THIS SPECIAL!
