"Jon's musicality makes him a valuable asset to any band. As a multi-instrumentalist, he approaches his music from all angles. He is experienced in all genres of music which is a must in our band Vital Nonsense. He plays the funky stuff with the swing and feel of a funk vet, and he attacks the heavy metal more aggressive tunes with tenacity, brutality and accuracy. His feel is effortless and he lays back in a groove seamlessly. Who else you know can roll with the Wooten Brothers and Rage Against the Machine? He is easy and a pleasure to work with and is full of creative ideas. It's an honor to have his talent incorporated in any project."
