Testimonials
"Jon Hartmann and I have been friends since our college years at U.C.L.A., where he was kind enough to take me under his wing and guide me to the best sources. In addition to his talents as a pianist, Jon has always had tremendous compositional gifts, and finally "3 if by air" gives us all a chance to sample them." -Steve Khan, N.Y.C. 1999
..."This is the essence of funk with a latin flavor... a great work of instrumental jazz fusion..." -Ricardo Camarena, La Opinion
