I think Jason will probably go down in blues harp history as one of the most dynamic and original players of his time. Hope he gets the recognition and rewards NOW that he deserves!
You Americans are so lucky to have Jason and the band playing 300 shows a year. Absolutely love this tune. There's nothing like this going on in England. Luke
Well noted,I spoke in the heat of the moment.Its not fair to compare one to the next as they are all great. But solos like this are at the very fore front in the harp world. I must have rewound to the solo at least 300 times now. My family thinks Im not right in the head. They say its sick and obsessive. can anyone tell me what that means?
Saw Jason play Hip Shake at Darwin's in Marietta Georgia last week. Tremendous harp player! Let me tell ya...all the top professional harp players in the city in the city of Atlanta were there to see Jason play.
We kept sitting there and watching pro player after pro player keep walking in!
This is cutting edge - a rare experience. Pay attention folks. Notwithstanding the filthy crap that spews from the US under GW Bush, this band is a high energy amalgum of rock-blues-punk with a virtuoso on harp. This band has what it takes to cut through the crap of our times to deliver energy, passion and raw personality.
I agree,very few harp players manage to actually take the harp someplace else. jason and the guys are mixing so much stuff in there they require BIG respect.
any higher and the bass will be over his head!
