Asked about his diverse performance resume, Jon replies, "The modern freelance trumpeter must be equally comfortable in a wide array of musical settings. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn and perform a variety of styles, and consider myself a student of the trumpet - in all it's forms and uses."
