Ralph Towner's "Solstice" and Bobo Stenson's "Witchi Tai Too" became my bibles as a teen and Jon totally redirected my outlook of the drums. I began to look at the drums as a symphony of sounds rather than "just" a drum set. He's inspired me over and over throughout my career. I've spoken to Jon many times both here in the USA and also in Oslo and Molde. He's a sweet guy and a wonderfully sensitive musician. I wish I could see him more.
