Hi John. I really don't believe in co-incidences, so I am soooo grateful that your Sept 2011 gig at the 55 on Christopher Street fell neatly as Angela and I were making our first visit to NY. The gig was outstanding and Chris Potter seemed to be enjoying the ride too :) You are doing a special work, keep true to your vision. Stay safe. Steve (London)

Holy shit!!!! This new record is insane. You're playing your ass off-- damn... and super cool concept and writing...
Thanks for sharing your gift...
Best,
Jeff

Hi John, today I've got the CD "The age we live in" from you. I love the music of David Binney, Wayne Krantz, Chris Potter, Scott Colley, Eivind Opsvik, The Claudia Quintet and JOHN ESCREET... to name a few. Thank you for sending and of course the good music and hope I see you soon in Berlin. Kind regards, Thomas Siebert.

Wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your new cd. It's definately going to take me several listens as some songs are more complex than others.

I own several of your other cds and I saw you live with Ambrose in DC in 2010. All the best to you.

Hi John. Received your new CD last Friday and have been listening to it since then. It's a CD of the year. Fantastic. Another step forward. I especialy also like the line-up. Know Dave quite a bit and very much like wayne Krantz. Congratulations and thanks for the CD. Hope to see you once playing in Switzerland. Best, Patrick

Yo! The new record sounds great! I'm very proud of you. Ben

Wonderful playing/concert at the Piano Kitchen. Hope to hear you in Santa Barbara again. Just downloaded your charts

Hey man, I'm super impressed with your playing and I hope that you keep coming out with new stuff. I am eager to see more from you. I saw you live at the 55 bar last december with Wayne and it blew me away how you all sounded. I'm a Wayne Krantz fan, and that night I definetly became your fan as well. keep on playing man.

regards,

Jaime

The site great, and the sounds phenomenal would love to see you at the Rhythm Station some time. Hope to see you October in Manchester. Denis

John - an outstanding site. You telling me you have time to be this much of a top-flight cyberpunk - and - write and play the beautiful stuff you do? I feel both inspired and daunted by turns... Phenomenal. See you in the Autumn.

Hey John love the music, any plans to release the rooftop adventures sessions?

Hey! I am friends with a trumpet player called Reuben Fowler who plays for DJO with John Ellis. I came to watch you in the new years concert in doncaster and to be fair im sure you know how good you are so you dont need me to tell you. I have a quintet which Ben Mallinder and Reuben Fowler are in, these name may mean something to you, and was wondering if you could send me some of your charts. Il pay obviously but listening to them they are ace so please do get in touch. Cheers Andy

Hey man, I LOVE your stuff. The tracks are amazing. I really hope you do well in the States. I'm from Argentina, 24 years old, play alto and tenor sax. I'll be looking forward hearing from you. Best of luck to you man! Emmanuel

I enjoy the music. I play the piano as well. Do you have any special technique or improvisation workouts that you do regularly?

Hi John, we've met before ages ago at a prom that Marcus Farnsworth was doing (I'm his flatmate). I was just wondering if you've produced anything for big band in the way of compositions/arrangements. I run the big band at Manchester University and we are desperate to keep our material fresh, so we're looking for young composers and arrangers who want their music played to send us some scores.

Any way you can help? Thanks,

Graham South
