Jimmy Recca

Jimmy Recca (born 1956)[1] is an American musician known as a former bass player in The Stooges[2] via an incarnation that existed from early 1971 until their first break-up on July 9, 1971.

After a brief and rewarding period of non-musician roadies filling the vacant bass player slot in The Stooges, James Williamson brought in Recca, who replaced original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander. A move that has been said to have inevitably caused and or brought the premature death and depression of Alexander. This line-up featured Jimmy on bass supporting both Ron Asheton and James Williamson on twin lead guitars.

Recca was also a member of The New Order,[3] the Los Angeles-based "Detroit super-group" that former Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton founded in early 1975 after the implosion of The Stooges. The band featured ex-MC5 drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson, former Stooges keyboardist Scott Thurston, and various other Detroit veterans.

Jimmy Recca has also been listed as "Jimi Recca" on some releases. During his time in The Stooges, the band had three members named James: James Osterberg (Iggy), James Williamson, and Recca.
