Jimbo (live)

The epic song poem Jimbo appeared as the first track on Bill’s debut album. This recording is a live performance by Bill Schachter in 2008.

About the image: In an interview with Gabe Rothschild (aka Hige Kuma), Bill described the character of Jimbo as being like a Walt Disney character – a little overweight and sitting in a plane that doesn’t have a cockpit. Gabe relayed this description to Austin artist Matt Gilchrest who drew the artwork seen here. To see more art by Gilchrest, see @gillystration on Instagram.

PS. Shout out to anyone who lives in the Ozone and also learned to play this very long song.
