“Maestro J” is one of the most celebrated contemporary jazz violinists of his era. His restless curiosity, passion, energy and multi-faceted musical interests have earned him the title of

"The Blazin' Violinist".

He has taught at the Western Louisville Talent Education Center, AMPED, and has offered many free master classes to the youth.
