Bass and vocal duo? Amazing!, Jon and Lynn

Bass and vocal duo? Amazing!

Jon and Lynn first met in the 90's; Jon did some mastering and graphics work for a solo vocal project of Lynn's at his studio in the Bronx.

A reunion on Facebook led to the beginning of their new creative partnership in June of 2009. Jon (jonburr.com) had been active as a bassist, bandleader, composer and producer, and Lynn (lynnstein.com) had established a career as an artist/painter/curator in the years since their last meeting. Jon played in groups such as the Stephane Grappelli trio, The Houston Person Quartet, and the Hot Swing Trio, and Lynn became artistic director for the Rockland Center for the Arts (http://www.rocklandartcenter.org/).

At a small dinner party Jon and Lynn attended one evening in June, a jam session broke out around the kitchen table (Jon keeps a bass in the kitchen), and that session led to the formation of the duo of Jon and Lynn. They've been rehearsing, recording, and playing places in the New York/New Jersey area since then. There are tracks up at twt.fm/jonandlynn representing the work they've been doing together. Their work draws from their collective experiences, touching on melodic pop, jazz, and the Great American Songbook of standards, and some tunes by either or both of them...
