“These duets are fun, challenging, creative, and swinging. My students and I have enjoyed diving deep into the idiomatic vocabulary over standard chord progressions. Fly Lines will be part of my practicing and teaching from now on!”
- Dr. Ethan Helm, Saxophonist and Educator, NYU
“This collection of duets by Jon is a great resource for people who may be interested in learning more of the standard language of Jazz, especially big band writing for saxophone. Jon was extremely thought in writing things that's idiomatic to excerpts you might see in some big band repertoire and it was a treat to get a chance to see some of these at JEN this past year. They kicked my butt but they were really fun to read through! Bravo Jon!!”
