Jason's solo project, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are a damned good band... they have a killer bass player, Jimbo Hart... I know first hand, I larned that there boy how to play... LOL He was my star pupil, I was teaching him when he was 12/13 years old... I had been teaching him for about 6 months, told him to go get a Jaco tape and try to learn something off it... he comes back the next week and plays some Weather Report tune note for note... I just shook my head and said I couldn't teach him anything else! *snif* damn proud of that boy...
One of the best live shows around -- but the live show has fallen off a bit after Isbell left. There's a number of threads on 'em here, been a fan for five years or so now.
