In addition to being a craftsman of the electric guitar, nylon string and steel string acoustic guitar, Jack also plays the mandolin, resonator "Dobro" style guitar, baritone guitar, lap steel, dulcimer and banjo. City Link Magazine dubbed him "Best Musician", and the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel said that "Jack's fluency and imagination as a player, producer and arranger make him one of the regional music scene's most indispensable people."
Throughout his career, Jack has performed, recorded or toured with such legends as Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Richie Havens, Stan Lynch (Tom Petty), Al Cooper (Blood Sweat & Tears), Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and many others. Jack has performed and recorded all over the world and accompanied Enrique Iglesias at the Latin Grammy Awards, which were televised live to a world-wide audience of 10 million.
Jack currently collaborates and performs with highly acclaimed singer songwriter Diane Ward (www.dianeward.com); the single "Trampoline Hero" from Diane's recent CD "Wonderlight" charted at 1 on Sirius satellite radio for two weeks.

Jack's production and playing can be heard on numerous Diane Ward CD's including her most recent release "Wonderlight", as well as Magda Hiller's most recent CD "Icing on the Cake". He is currently producing new CD's by Nashville artist Stephanie Callahan and Magda Hiller, and new material by Jim Wurster and Tony Moyer. Given his fluency in a variety of genres ranging from roots rock to straight ahead blues, Jack is in constant demand for studio work and live performances. Jack does most of his producing in his own top of the line ProTools HD3 studio (a comfortable place to create and record), and he is fluent in Reason, Live, and numerous other software production programs.
