Herring is good, but sometimes he plays too many notes.
Saw JID back in the day - didn't like 'em much. Unfortunately was expecting GD songs done in jazz. Instead, it was GD tunes done more or less normally, with no vocals. Cobham and Johnson are great players, but they didn't know how to play GD music. They just didn't have the feel for it. Johnson had the same problem in TOO.
Loved Jimmy's work with Phil but his tenure in Panic has over time, worn a bit thin. He's a guitar master yet many times goes to 3rd and 4th gear automatically. Add Trucks the mix and it often becomes too busy and tight-cornered. The swampy black magic voodoo side of WSP, which was one a key element, is missing. Or at least I can't hear it anymore. Maybe just me. Still a kick ass rock band though.

Write out a part and Jimmy can play it --- backwards standing on his head. Leave the pallet open -- as in WSP -- and he'll play...might not be what everyone wants/expects but the cup will runeth over in all the spaces that he needs to fill.

When he plays with Michael Landau in his Ringers band....it's tough to keep up with who is actually better.
