  1. Great interviews with Jeremy!

    I am so proud to have my Sonata (#1) on his excellent CD. I met Jeremy years ago at Hal’s when he was in middle school and was blown away by his mature musical playing… ( He played the K’sky for me) and Hal was beaming proudly!

    A great dude and wonderful bassist!

    Jason, bravo for your excellent interviews!!!!

    PS – I’m working on a 2nd Sonata for Bass & Piano. It will be premiered at the ISB 2009!
