Pulse And Cadence

In any genre of music it certainly seems that session ace, Steely Dan member and guitar extraordinaire Jon Herington is pretty much on the fast track to becoming one of the finest guitarists in the decade. Jon Herington is a guitarist, singer/songwriter and producer who has been active on the New York City music scene since 1985. He has also toured or recorded with Boz Scaggs, Bette Midler, the Jim Beard group, The Blue Nile, Phoebe Snow, Madeleine Peyroux and saxophonist Bill Evans. On Pulse And Cadence, recorded in 1992, Jon cranks out many different tunes from blues, rock to jazz. This album brings Jon out of the shadows of the back-line, and puts him permanently in the spotlight! Pulse And Cadence features eight of his own compositions as well as the brilliant playing of keyboardist Jim Beard, bassist Victor Bailey, drummer Peter Erskine, and percussionist Arto Tuncboyacian. This outing was originally recorded in 1992 and released only in Japan under the title "The Complete Rhyming Dictionary". The band features two members of Weather Report, Peter Erskine and Victor Bailey. This was important to Herington as he wanted to honor the sound of that band.
