James Jimmy Jazz Prescott has been my colleague, coworker, and friend for over 30 years. As the bass player for the renowned recording and touring artist G. LOVE and Special Sauce, James has dedicated his life to music, bringing joy and energy to audiences all over the world.

On Christmas Eve, just two weeks before a major 10-week U.S. concert tour was set to begin, James suffered a serious accident. He broke his ankle and required emergency surgery to reattach his fibula. This unexpected injury has left him unable to work, putting a sudden halt to his ability to perform and earn a living. The timing couldn't be more challenging, as he faces weeks of recovery and rehabilitation ahead.

The funds raised here will go directly toward James's medical bills, physical therapy, and essential household expenses like food and utilities during the 8 to 10 weeks he is unable to perform. For those who know James and have experienced his incredible talent and dedication, you know how much he gives to his craft and his audience. Now, we ask all G. LOVE fans and music lovers to show their love and support for James during this difficult time. Any amount helps—be generous, or contribute what you can. Your support will make a real difference in helping James get back on his feet—literally—and back to the music he loves.
