Jimmy played on the Eurythmics "Missionary Man" back in the 80s (released in 
1986).  Haven't heard much from him, aside from the occasional session work.  
He also plays saxaphone, you should be able to dig up some things on him on the 
web.

Charlie Musslewhite was the harp player on this record.
