John is one of the most talented keys players I’ve ever had the luxury of performing in a live situation with. He’s polite and courteous while maintaining extensive musical and stylistic knowledge of his art form. Beyond this he’s an incredible energy to have around in musical environments. He’s a great teacher to me, and I play drums - not keys.

John is a fantasic, very knowledgeable and versitile musician who has a calm and welcoming manner. John has made me feel more confident going to jazz jam sessions. He has an effective an affirming way of teaching new skills for example: ways to apply scales in different situations. Whenever we play or practice together, it is always fun and feel like I have the space to try out new ideas. John will make a fantastic teacher!
