Investigation into what makes the sounds of different players and composers unique from one another, through score study, transcription, and extended listening has taught and continues to teach Jonathan about how he hears music, and how others do as well. Transcriptions/the transcription process can be shared and expressed through performance and/or sheet music distribution, both of which Jonathan specializes in. 

​

He has written 4 analytic essays featuring jazz-solo transcription and has transcribed over 20 full jazz solos by artists such as Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Donald Byrd, Booker Little, Wayne Shorter, Chet Baker, Kenny Dorham, Joe Henderson, Blue Mitchell, Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, Wallace Roney, Eric Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Jim Snidero, and John Coltrane. Several of them are available for free, below. Check this page often, as new solo transcriptions are constantly being added.
