Bassist Scott Jackson grew up in a musical household in the Midwest where the sounds of his mother's Motown records were constantly mixing with his Father's Led Zeppelin, The Who and Charlie Parker discs. A promising career on trumpet was cut short by braces, but he made the switch to bass and hasn't looked back since.

While in college, Jackson toured with the funk/rock band, Bus and began to do sessions at Rivertown Studios, where he was exposed to a huge variety of musical styles ranging from country to roots reggae. During this time he began to log miles on the road with Midwestern, blue eyed soul star, B.J. Rogers. Later, a year's stint with jam band Groove Soup led him to pack up his Fenders and head down the Mississippi to New Orleans - it was inevitable that he would wind up there after he had discovered the Meters as a teenager.

Once in New Orleans, he spent time as Meters bassist George Porter's bass tech. There he got a chance to learn first - hand from the acknowledged master of New Orleans funk bass. He went on to spend two years with road dogs John Lisi and Delta Funk before teaming up with Westbank Mike in 2004. Since then he and Mike have logged hundreds of hours on gigs and thousands of miles spreading the greasy, New Orleans grooves they love.

Now, with Gradoux, Scott is defining a bass style that is thick and funky, locking a groove with O'Day and Doussan that consistently rocks the house.
