Jon is very excited to present the release of his new all-original, all-guitar instrumental CD titled Cascadia. The title track became Jon's first YouTube music video on his website in the summer of 2007.

The new CD of Cascadia, Jon's eighth career album,  features 11 cuts in 52 minutes of music.  Working as a solo composer and artist, Jon plays all the instruments on the record, including acoustic, twelve string, bass, and lead and slide guitars, as well as keyboards. And what a diverse and interesting collection of guitar styles to entertain you!

Kicking it all off is 'Gathering of Spirits,' featuring Jon's driving lead guitar. The tempo relaxes nicely in the very deep and reflective songs 'Swirl of Cyan' and 'Pools' before the pace quickens once again with the album's title track of Cascadia.

We travel to the far Southwest English coast of Cornwall in the soft soothing melody of 'Land's End.' Then it's deja vu all over again with the 1960's stylistic track 'Are You Listening.'  The 'Moody Blues' meet 'Jethro Tull?' Hmmmm.....what do you think?

Two peppy diversions titled 'Jazzy Twelve' and 'Southern Drawl' are next in line before we head west, to the American Southwest, for 'Just West of Laredo.' Keep an eye out for those steers, pardner!  The very popular 'Rollin' Along' brings us back home again.

After four consecutive keyboard albums to his credit, Jon returns to his guitar roots with his latest album entitled Simple Man.  Recorded at the East Ashland Lane Studio outside Ashland Oregon , Jon has laid down 13 very interesting guitar tracks. Playing all the stringed instruments on the album, this all-original CD spans the spectrum from ambient cuts such as 'Echoes of Fire, Winds of Change and Spirit World,' to solo guitar pieces 'Dakota Train, The Long Goodbye and The Cat's Meow,' to the straight-ahead rock n' roll of 'Southwest Highway and Blue Monday.' Jon is also known for his fine singing voice and includes two vocal ballads in 'Sleeping Her Life Away,' co-written by Sharon Laura Williams, and 'Forever,' a song he wrote and first recorded in 1982. Simple Man is available locally in southern Oregon at the Siskiyou Artisans Gallery, Lower Level, Rogue Valley Mall, and can also be downloaded on virtually all of the download websites including Rhapsody and ITunes.

Going Home is Jon's latest release and many are considering this to be his finest solo piano release to date. The new album is comprised of ten cuts recorded in September 2005. Utilizing a Kawai RX-7 concert grand piano for the recordings, this fine instrument faithfully captures and translates the subtle nuances and outstanding audible tones directly from Jon's fingers. From the opening 'The Nimble Gypsie' with its infectious melody, to the soft and reflective 'Vera Lived Here, Autumn Moon and Indigo Dreams,' and finishing with the contemplative yet dramatic 'Waters Rising,' this solo piano album is truly an excellent piece of work by Jon. If solo piano is a musical style that you and yours truly love, this album is a must  for your CD collection.

Pacific Point of View is an all-instrumental solo grand piano recorded and released in 2003. This album features twelve original compositions. Pacific Point of View was recorded utilizing two excellent grand pianos:  a Kawai Concert Grand piano, the second, a Yamaha Grand piano. Jon's playing style is melodic and beautiful, yet simple and uncomplicated. The album begins with a short  opening prelude of elegant strings heralding the first cut of 'Ride the Wild Horses, then is filed with pure piano as Jon weaves and winds his way through 12 cuts. Be sure and listen for the low rumble of thunder and light rainfall  in 'Rainy Morning in Paris,'  the nimble paws of a Jack Russell Terrier in 'Dimples In the Closet,' to the delicate touch and smooth movement of the piano keys in 'Day of the Stallions.'

Galfano Piano is a sensitive and richly recorded album of all-original compositions. Each song lets your mind wander at will, from the soft and captivating 'Russian Snowfall, ' to the haunting personal journey of a loved one in 'Alice's Sojourn,' to the freeflowing serenity of fall as the musical notes tell the tale of 'The Leaves of Autumn.'   This album will help relieve the stresses of one's everyday life, letting your mind wander to another place... your own very personal... and very private space.

Gem Mystique is a New Age album for relaxation and healing. Each of the twelve birthstone compositions is translated from gemstone to Gem Mystique by Jon. Following months of extensive research by associate producer Sharon Laura WIlliams came the discovery of the intrinsic folk lore and  mental, physical and spiritual properties of each gemstone, as well as the musical vibrations of each. The twelve melodies are are comprised of grand piano, rich strings, and beautifully blended synthesized sounds. Gem Mystique has been created to bring out the warmth, beauty and character  fo the gems for your listening pleasure.
