 I am excited to announce that Jonathan has been booked for the Sacramento 
Jazz Jubilee, May 26-29, 2006.

He sat in with the band I was playing with at the Great CT Festival in July. 
I was knocked out by his musicianship.  We are very excited in Sacramento to 
have him featured at our 2006 festival.
