First 2 shows went well tonight and the boys had a great deal of fun. Mike shared vocals with Robben and they all felt quite satisfied with the shows as some of the performers had never even met before today.
Some of the songs played were:
Hong Kong
Stan Key
Going Nowhere
Why You Lie
Hidden Treasure
Up From The Skies
Move On
Crazy House
That Road
Jimmy announced that the new Jing Chi will hopefully be released next month.
He also told me that Jing Chi means "Vital Energy"/"Life Force".
I still can't reveal the special guest on the new disc, but Jimmy says hopefully those legalities are almost resolved.
He is having all the shows recorded to DAT with the idea of hopefully coming up with enough quality recordings to put together a live disc.

Thanks Daved!
"Why you Lie" is a great Landau song. I have only heard a small bit of Robert Cray's music, what I have heard is a little boring. I am sure we will hear another side to his playing with Jing chi.
I saw Robben at Catalinas a little over a year ago, it was scheduled to be a jing chi show but turned into a Blue line show. Wipe the tears right, it was probably the best out of 6 RF shows I have seen.
Any more updates will be appreciated.
Take Care

So I was right! 
Actually, I have to confess that I was privy to a little insider info on that one. I used to work at A&M (now Henson) where the CD was recorded, and I still have friends there. Sorry 'bout that!
Really looking forward to this new CD, and the live one coming up next!

Actually, Jim, Bill Morgan scooped you... LOL! But, you did do an excellent job of being first to firmly confirm it, so you win 2nd prize.... Honorable mention! Congrats, Jim!
I was suprised to see Bill nail it so quickly, so I figured he must have had 'inside info', but I could say nothing to confirm, so I just didn't deny... so he got it first and wins the grand prize... front row seats in Yokohama! Congratulations, Bill! Cya there! Bring your earplugs....  
I, of course, have been obligated to keep the lid on tight. But Ultimately, I still have the best scoop.... photos from the recording session which will be posted in the TechTalk site during the first couple weeks of May, after I get home.
So, everyone goes home a winner!!!

Mike is using only a Sunburst Strat with whammy, thru a marshall with F/X rack and lotsa pedals. I'll give more detail after the startup dust settles.

Landau and Robben is like a match made in heaven. They're both bluesy but in a different way. Landau is one of the most expressionistic player around, he can milk a note and get all kinds of sustain and vibrato. His tone is always in your face, sweet Strat pup sounds (Fralins and Suhr?). Mike can attack a note like no other.
What can I say about Robben that hasn't been said? He has a total command of mixing bebop and blues. I would say that Landau is more from a Hendrix bag , and Robben is more like a bluesy Miles Davis, although both could cross into any territory.
Can't wait for a live release of these gigs. Please make it happen! (Jimmy).
