Jazzmaster’s 50th Anniversary Reviews

September 15th, 2008 by jeremiah

J played at the Jazzmaster’s 50th Anniversary bash recently with Dave Schools (from Widespread Panic) on bass and Kyle Spence on drums which, as most of you may remember, was the last touring lineup of J Mascis + The Fog.

“For a misfit guitar, the Fender Jazzmaster has managed to hold its own through a half-century. On Friday night at the Knitting Factory, this guitar mustered the college-radio guitar heroes Tom Verlaine (of Television), J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr.), Nels Cline (of Wilco) and Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo (of Sonic Youth) for a concert to celebrate its 50th anniversary. In their hands it was a guitar suited both to fine detail and blistering noise.”
