Jimmy Rosenberg - Portrait Of Jimmy Rosenberg (1999)

This album, a musical portrait of Jimmy, was originally produced to promote his European Quartet in 1999. However, only a few months later a new success in Carnegie Hall was followed by one last golden contract, but with the money came an acceleration in the drug abuse, and the contract was cancelled. After the turn of the millennium Jimmy and I continued for another four turbulent years together before the chemistry went bad, in August 2004.

This first chapter about Jimmy Rosenberg is now over, the dust is slowly settling, and the wounds are gradually healing, but Jimmy has silenced. What is left in public is a handful of albums by one of the most amazing guitar talents ever. For more than a decade we were like brothers in arms, but now I can only hope for a miracle – that one day my little brother will return to planet Earth and continue his magic. ~Jon Larsen
