Jon Dalton

Musician and composer. "The Gift" is the result of my first collaboration with arranger/producer John O'Hara. I play all styles of jazz guitar from Mainstream through Bop to Smooth and Urban Jazz.

I am a contributing writer to http://www.playjazzguitar.com and Just Jazz Guitar magazine.
