Jonathan and Jeremy, both gifted, young, eclectically minded jazz musicians, are Tampa friends of mine, and former bandmates, who performed and recorded with my old jam/jazz/experimental group, Ghetto Love Sugar (in addition to their gazillion other projects).
Jonathan has lived in NYC for several years, and has gained attention for his work in Latin jazz, as well as a variety of other jazz-and-beyond projects. Jeremy studied at the New School and returned to Tampa, where he plays in groups including an intimate jazz duo with guitarist LaRue Nickelson and the jazz/jam group Infinite Groove Orchestra.
Ill try to write more about the CD later. Meanwhile, heres the show info, from Jonathan:
