When the opportunity strikes, Pimps of Joytime guitarist Brian J likes to geek out with an assortment of fellow artists for a stripped down video series he calls Jamming with J. Past collaborations include Anders Osborne, Papa Mali, Cory Henry and Sister Sparrow, often recorded in Brian’s home studio in Brooklyn. The latest episode finds J and Brooklyn soul-singer Kendra Morris performing “If You Didn’t Go” from Morris’ Banshee LP. Captured on the first take of their session earlier this week, the video shows the first time these two artists meet face-to-face.

Watch the new video below, premiering on L4LM:

“I’ve been a fan of Kendra’s music for a while now, but we never actually met until we cut this video a few days ago,” Brian J explained. “Kendra is a natural and a real sweetheart, so collaborating on the fly together was a pleasure all around.”

Kendra Morris opens the Pimps of Joytime’s imminent homecoming Friday, Feb. 12, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. “Tonight’s gonna be even more of a party with Kendra joining us,” Brian says. “Brooklyn baby! It’s a family affair.”
