With a sig line like that, I imagine you get occa-
sional confused questions about what things are like
at the Eastman School of Music, especially if some-
body doesn't know that "MI" is not "New York". So
how ARE Kenny and Jon doing these days (Grant &
Manasse)? ;-)

That means that someone else has actually HEARD of Jon Manasse. I've never
met a soul from outside my town that knew of him (he came and played at
UMass Amherst a few years ago, and even came to my high school and showed a
friend of mine how the Weber concertino is "done").
I've always liked his playing a lot. Perhaps even more than Charlie Neidich
but less than David Shiffrin.
