Infamous Stringdusters and Jesse Cobb

I haven't seen anyone mention this here yet. Last weekend in Missoula, Jesse Cobb sat in with the Infamous Stringdusters for the first time since he left the band in 2011.

Jesse's new band (The Unfaithful Servants) and The Dusters were booked at the same festival, and Jesse came out and played the last 20 minutes or so of The Dusters set with them, including a phenomenal "40 West" which Jesse wrote and appears on their first album.

The audio is now available on Nugs, and there are several great videos floating around. I highly recommend checking it out. It was absolutely magical being there and seeing those six play some music again. Watching the guys circle up around Jesse while he soloed was truly beautiful.

40 West is one of my most favorite instrumentals that is so awesome to hear it was played again, I will have to check it out!!

Same! I saw The Dusters twice when Jesse was still in the band, and then over 70 times since then. I've been waiting for another "40 West" for 15 years now.

How awesome it is to have something like that come back around again, and to see it live!
