Jon Glicksman
Jon’s primary instrument is piano.  Jon began his parental rebellion by quitting classical piano, starting to play everything by ear, and forming my first of many garage bands. Jon also plays guitar, base and drums.One of the great benefits of playing in so many bands over the years is the exposure to, and appreciation of a wide range of musical styles and genre’s. Recent musical highlights include a South Street Seaport Benefit and the other, of course, was playing on stage next to Earl Slick.  I often tell people that that was a high point, Just plain COOOOL!

Bob was drawn to the enthusiasm of the recreational musician thereby creating the Saturday Night Jams,  workshops, lessons & stage performance programs for the non-professional musician at The Studio. “Since 1997 I’ve lost count as to how many musicians I’ve taken to the stage with our live shows.”
