    Really comfortable sense of time and groove. Reminds me a lot of Dan Tyminski's drive.

    This is probably the best rendition of Dangerfield I have ever heard.

    Interesting timing. Just saw a YTube video of this guy playing Temperance Reel, & was really impressed. Some how he has never been on my play list. Certainly is now!

    Great job Jesse, you made a beautiful sparkling tune and made all the technicalities seem to disappear. I am inspired ‘onward and upward’...thanks

    So smooth and musical. I love that tune and love his playing.
  43. mandoglobal's Avatar
    Outstanding. Jesse is a friend of mine, and it never fails: every time I see him play, he comes up with some slick riff that I’ve never thought of, and this tune is full of them. Carry on, Jesse!!!

    Welcome, Jesse. That's a great version of Ashland, well done!

    That is to me a very happy sounding tune! I really enjoyed the tune, your playing, and the sound of that J5. Every time I watch the video though, my gaze kept getting drawn to the right ... please, please come back soon and play that BIG Giacomel for us!
