   About JATOBA
"This sound is evidence of their own language in the making. Guitars, one for each ear, speak clearly in voices within mystic whispers. The Double Bass brings tones from the underground, collectively creating lyrics from language's transmitting like train rails and smoke signals, canyon echoes and signals through telegraph wires. Their poetic formations fly from Colorado to the North east." (Michael Shurtz, Billboard Magazine's former Editorial Cartoonists/Poster Artists for Bill Graham Presents)

Incorporating a unique blend of three extraordinary acoustic musicians, Jatoba redefines their sound through collective songwriting and extreme rhythmic improvisations. Through the Double Bass, Acoustic Guitars, Baritone Guitar, Mandolin, Sitar and harmonizing vocals, Jatoba displays a very eclectic arrangement of acoustic instrumentation. Jatoba is Jason Scaggs, John Jamison and Jeff Richardson.

The three members of Jatoba first came to play music together in a band based out of Keene, Hew Hampshire and since then have progressed individually and as a whole to create a truly unique style of music. Collectively the members of Jatoba have shared stages/bills with musicians and bands such as Sage Francis, members of Dispatch, Lotus, RAQ, The Breakfast, The Ordinary Way and Deadwood Revival just to name a few.

The roots that Jatoba have planted will hold fast and continue to expand well beyond the aspirations that were founded in the beginning of Jatoba's life. Jatoba is a new beginning with no end in sight. Their music has and will continue to be praised by fans and musicians from all around the nation. With a strong start many people are on board to support an acoustic evolution which will hopefully bring Jatoba's music to the forefront of everyone's forehead. :)

Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to make it to the EC or Sterling. I'm struggling with balancing work, gigs, and playtime right now. However, I believe I'm going to Phish @ SPAC and as I said we're sharing the bill with ya at the Last Daze so I'll definately see ya soonish. Again, feel free to swing through Hamilton next Friday, should be a good time.

Yo fellas! Just saw you're gonna be in my neck of the woods in a couple weeks. If ya get bored in between your EC gig and String Fling you should come check out my band The Hook @ the Hamilton Block Party. It's about a half hour from Utica. If not, we're also playing the Last Daze of Summer so I'll definately see ya there. Keep meltin' faces!

Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings isn’t just a live sound recording studio.  Located in a 200 year old 3 bedroom bed and breakfast style farmhouse on 40 acres in Wolcott, Vermont, the project studio of NBSR offers great rates, a relaxed atmosphere, and the seclusion needed to lay down those most righteous of tracks.  And just like the mobile unit, there is never an initial mixing charge at Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings.

I caught your set at Sterling on Saturday. It was one of best things I've seen in a long time, seriously. I'm currently working with a mandolin player from India (Snehasish Mozumder) who has a hankerin for bluegrass, and he's tearin' it up. If you guys ever come to NYC, be sure and let me know. Peace.
