Artist History Since a child, John ('JT') has had difficulty with choosing just one instrument. Up through his college years, he played and studied: guitar (classical, jazz, prog. rock), keyboard, french horn, drums & percussion. Early influences from childhood were Beethoven, Big Band Jazz, and W. Carlos' album, "Switched-On Bach". In his teens (the later 70's), John got into all kinds of jazz (straight, latin, be-bop, fusion and jazz-rock) and (mostly English) progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis.) John then attended Virginia Commonwealth University, first majoring on classical guitar (studied with Jesus Silva, a protege of Andres Segovia.) After the first year, John then changed his major to Electronic Music, studying with Dr. Loran Carrier, a student of Morton Subotnik (an early electronic music pioneer.) In the decade following college, John worked in a variety of recording studios and played with many different-style bands. Of most recent note, John has teamed up with Kit Watkins and Brad Allen (both have presences here at MP3.com) to form "Tone Ghost Ether". We will have some releases coming out, and a site here at MP3.com. I'm also planning on doing two new CDs - a new-age album, and an ambient electronica album. Keep checking back! *For more information on John's music career, go to: http://www.crosslink.net/~jtlusty/mycareer.htm
