MP3 Jonathan - ROCK: Classic Rock
Blues and rock n roll. Many listeners have made comparisons to Jackson Browne, Van Morrison, Santana, and other great artists. Great jams. Great diversity of instrumentation. Lyrically, it speaks of love (good and bad), reflection, hope...

Details:
Jonathan began playing piano at about eight years of age. He trained primarily playing classical music with a touch here and there on pop. In high school, he soon began writing music and playing more music that interested his taste. That taste expanded during "college life" and beyond with exposure to a greater library of music. Influences are far and wide with a strong center on Little Feat, Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Allman Brothers, Van Morrison, Ray Charles and Traffic to name just a few. Other genres include jazz, classical, country, folk, and some appreciation for rap.
His rubs with success have included playing with Bo Diddley at the age of 19 years old, opening for acts such as Buddy Guy, Jerry Portnoy, John Hammond, Jr., the Dixie Chicks, Storeyville (Double Trouble was the rhythm section), Billy Ray Cyrus, and others.
He has recorded on several artists'' songs, but finally decided in 2002 to begin his own project. "Jonathan" is comprised of songs written as far back as 1990, but most were written during the course of the project.
It has received remarkable feedback from all who listen and is simply waiting to reach the right set of ears! This cd is no disappointment!
Jonathan is now working on his second project and incorporating the help of friends new and old to give the music "life!" The style will be more down-to-earth, blues and soul, with an edge that''s a bit more raw than the first CD. The target date for completion is August 2005!
