has had the pleasure of performing with many great artists and
acts including Rufus Reid, and the John Pizzarelli Trio.

Embodying the spirit of the late, great Maynard
Ferguson, John performs and entertains with positive stage
presence and creative energy.
“You don’t have to be Picaso or Rembrandt to create something.
The fun of it, the joy of creating, is way high above anything
else to do with the art form.” - Chick Corea
