LATEST NEWS:

Thanks to everyone who came out to the acoustic double bill shows with Paul Tiernan here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having toured with Paul many times in Europe, it was great to have him here in the US! We recorded all our shows and are currently listening through performances to choose the best cuts for our upcoming live album due to be released this fall. We will launch the album in Europe first with shows booked in Germany, Switzerland, and The Netherlands starting November 5th!

LATEST PRESS:

“His latest album ‘Jazz?’ combines his experience as a singer and songwriter with his love for open ended improvisation. His takes on rock and pop standards, with great jazz sensibility and penchant for swing, make this a wonderful and fresh approach to the canon of improvised music”. - Jim Bennet, KCSM

“Most standards began as what we now refer to as covers...the shifting tides of pop culture have washed away many of Tin Pan Alley’s masterpieces… but on his fourth release as a leader, bassist and singer John Lester has smartly updated the concept, using more contemporary hits for “Jazz?”. - JazzTimes
