Artist description When Jonathan was 15 years old he wrote a letter in the form of a song called Bugler Baby to his future self. He got the letter 3 years ago and started work on the complete album of songs he had written during that innocent period. He followed the original manuscript almost note for note and then let 31 musicians go nuts on it. The music is like free form radio in that it covers everything from latin to country to musique concrete. You'll want to set aside 74 minutes with your headphones, your La-Z-Boy, the lights out and experience the album from beginning to end.

Artist History Jonathan's life has been dominated by music since his early teens. But it wasn't until he moved to New York City that he found that music could pay the rent and therapy. Since that time he has toured with artists as diverse as David Byrne, The Drifters and The Elect Lady Evangelist Shirly Davis and that's just the D's. It would probably be easiest to list the people he hasn't played with. Rod Stewart is one, although Jonathan has tuned his piano.He has also worked in his studio with artists as varied as Peter Stampfel (with and without The Bottlecaps), The Holy Modal Rounders, Arto Lindsay, Shannon, Joseph ShabalalaJonathan's other albums are: 'Blood On The Ivories,' ''The Invisible Man,' ''The Invisible Man Is Here Again,' 'Hell & Earth,' and 'Jonathan's Best', all on the Bubble Music label
