Hey man,
it sure is jermey lubbock. Isn't that some amazing sounding stuff?! It's been changing my life since I started listening to it. I can't get those voicings out of my head. It makes Vince Mendoza seem rather more complicated that it needs to be. I was always a huge fan of vince, and still am for some things, until I heard the simplicity of J L. it's quite astonishing what you can do with so little in voicing and under a melody.

It's like being back in college again. I feel like I'm 15. Music is the most powerful thing I know, and it's proving that to me once again with this new writing and recording process.
