Recording as a soloist and backing musician

John's performed on two of my recent recordings and I love what he's done. He played saxophone and steel guitar. He's got a great sense of what the song needs as soloist and support. Since he's a songwriter and producer, he knows how to work with me to understand what' I'm trying to achieve and helps me get there. Responsive, organized, quick. I recommend him.

John is the best

John is a fantastic musician and great to work with. There does t seem to be an instrument he can’t play and play it well.
I love his touch on the steel and saxophone. Number one choice when I need those on a track or live. I didn’t hesitate suggesting him for the Ronnie Milsap gig. Great fit.

Great Session Musician!

I have worked on many occasions with John in the studio. He has provided saxophone, trumpet, and flute parts. His work is top notch as well as his dependability to complete projects! I would highly recommend him for saxophone, flute, trumpet, acoustic, pedal steel and other.
