About Me
Jazz represents some of the highest ideals and capacities of humanity and that which is humane! I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1960's and 70's hearing some of the greatest practitioners routinely up close, it was sublime. See my Jazz Passages Archive at www.jondeshler.com
My ArticlesMy Jazz Story
I love jazz because in its core it is expressive, free, and open.
I was first exposed to jazz as a young teenager.
I met Lew Tabackin when I was a teenager and he was an extraordinary example of someone seeking the highest levels of art and humanity in his life.
My House Concert Story
An intimate affair in my historic old farm house with friends and neighbors. As a covid adaptation my son - Nate Deshler and I performed standards and engaged with folks in the most intimate setting.
