Jon Rose Jazz is a confederation of talented musicians who love to play music together. Jazz at its best is a conversation amongst musicians, and Jon Rose Jazz offers a lively musical conversation between good friends. While the personality of Jon Rose Jazz can vary depending on the venue and requirements of the host, it’s always a good time! The core personnel in the Jon Rose Jazz trio includes Jon Rose on guitar, Ralph Gordon on acoustic bass, and the multi-talented Bruce Fransen on tenor, alto and soprano saxophone, and flute.
Jon fell in love with guitar playing rock and roll in high school and discovered jazz in college, never looking back. Jon has been playing and making guitars for years. Ralph studied music in college and has been a full-time professional musician ever since, playing many genres. Bruce has loved playing music since he was very young, and while studying at VCU found jazz.
All of these guys have played music for years, and respect and love playing with one another.
