Owning the cello made by Jason, getting to know it, playing it in, recording and touring with it, all of this has been a wonderful experience; it’s been a time of enormous musical change and growth for me. The instrument has a full, fine, textured and beautifully resonant voice and its responsiveness makes expressive phrasing a pleasure. In my work as an improvisor, composer and collaborator I often explore the outer edges of the instrument’s range and Jason’s cello has given me a vast universe in which to wander. — Lori Goldston
