He worked with Quincy Jones for his debut album in 2017 and duetted with his famous mother on How Deep Is The Ocean for her album Partners.
Where We Fall is his second album and is a collection of original songs and covers of some of his favourite classics such as Wild Is the Wind, Jealous Guy, It's Only a Paper Moon, and What You Won’t Do for Love.
"My mother was recording music when I was still in her belly," Jason says. "The vibration of music has always been part of me. This album is about embracing all sides of myself; the standards I grew up with, and the music I feel compelled to create today."
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I’m kinda shy, but I do have a dark sense of humour.
I love documentaries but not so much sitcoms.
I don’t eat cheese, but I love Ice cream…
How would you describe your music?
Hmmm - I guess you could say it’s music from the heart and for the heart.
Who are your musical inspirations?
Oh Boy, there are so many, but here’s a few: I’m a big fan of John Williams, Nina Simone, Paul Simon, George Michael...
What was the first gig you ever went to?
I remember seeing Donna Summer live in the late 70s at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
What was the first record you ever bought?
It was I Say A littler Prayer by Dionne Warwick. I played it over and over on my plastic record player.
What’s your favourite song right now?
I was really taken with Bon Iver’s latest, There’s a Rhythm. Really beautiful.
Favourite lyric of all time?
Well, Joni Mitchell blows me away. Also, I recently performed a duet with Patti Austen at the 100th Birthday celebration of songwriter Alan Bergman. We sang How do You Keep The Music Playing? Pretty great lyrics.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Wow. Well maybe I would listen to The Queen’s Suite by Duke Ellington.
Where can people find your music/more information?
