Jimmy Stewart 2007 is a double live album by progressive rock band Umphrey's McGee.
The band went back to the meeting room to have a jam session around three o'clock in the morning, and it was recorded by their sound man Kevin Browning.
It was really kind of a different approach to playing that we had never done before and we really liked it.” (Brendan Bayliss, Guitar and vocals) Cinninger said,“So we went down to the concert hall, and barely turned on all the instruments.
It was kinda loosely based there and because of the room, it was called the Jimmy Stewart ballroom or whatever, we decided to christen the name.”(Jake Cinninger Guitarist and vocals).
"A “Jimmy Stewart" is the specific portion of each show that is set aside for the band's own brand of improvisational music.
According to band archivist and compiler of the “Jimmy Stewart 2007” album Jon McLennand, there are other signals used during the show.
Usually the person in front controls what everyone is going to do, so the band members watch the leader and follow his signals.
