Influenced by people such as his father (bass player also), Stanley Clarke,
Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorious, John Patitucci, and many
other musicians, Jon began to show tremendous musical ability and command
of the instrument. At the age of 8 Jon was already playing Jaco's version
of 'Donna Lee'. By the time he reached the age of 14 Jon was endorsed by
Fodera guitars and that very same year toured Europe with his high school
jazz band. Jon is also endorsed by Bergantino Audio, Digitech effects, and
D'Addario strings. He performs clinics as a featured artist and sideman
for drummer extraordinaire Tony Royster Jr. Jon also received a scholarship
to attend a summer semester at Berklee School of Music. He appeared in Bass

and was just interviewed by JazzTimes magazine for the Sept(03) issue. This CD also boasts special guest performances by Tony Royster Jr, James Hogan, Ulysses Owens, and Bob Mintzer of the YellowJackets.
