The Modern Drummer Interview with Jeff Sipe (2006 Jan/Feb):

Quote:
Jeff Sipe
The Timeless Art Of Jamming
From his early days in Atlanta with the musically experimental and always unpredictable Col. Bruce Hampton, the irrepressible journeyman Jeff Sipe has been perfecting the art of jamming for many years. He is now beginning to reap the fruits of his labors.
Sipe, who was chosen to replace Steve Gorman in The Black Crowes last year as they regrouped for a highly anticipated reunion tour, was notified the night before leaving to go on tour that Gorman had decided to re-join the group. The ever-optimistic Sipe simply says, “It was a very positive experience, and they were very nice about the whole thing. In the end, I feel it was cosmically meant to play out that way.”
Sure enough, the cosmos were in Sipe’s favor, as shortly after parting with The Crowes he was called to play with legendary Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh. “What I largely overlooked in The Dead’s music ended up being pretty fascinating during the rehearsals,” says Sipe. “Their music is actually quite complicated, and Phil’s forte is conducting the band with a unique modal approach to his instrument. With him, there are no wrong notes or ideas. The freedom was tremendous.”
Sipe has also been busy recording live albums with Grease Factor, Sipe/Hanson/Hellborg, and The Art Of The Jam Band, as well as his own debut studio release, Timeless, which reveals a focus on melody, texture, and subtle expression. Sipe sums up the project this way: “I wanted this recording to be a musical offering, like a prayer. I wanted virtuosos who would play sensitively, offering a timeless expression, back to the creator, in appreciation of the beauty of life and the opportunities given.”
