Jon always assembles a world class orchestra to accompany him on the recordings and live. Zoukelele features Australian percussion maestro Greg Sheehan, NZ/UK harmonica genius Brendan Power. also Irish whistle payer Alan Doherty of Irish band Grada fame. Described as "quantum leaping" and "deliciously weathered" Jon's self penned compositions evoke distant landscapes and exotic cultures popular in film soundtrack work and world music festivals like WOMAD (2013). His Twigs of the Neem Tree album was described as a "delightful product of an inventive musical mind with finely honed melodic sensibilities. It goes in, it goes round and it comes out sounding bright, bold and brilliant," by American music critic Tom Clancy. The Irish Times music critic Siobhan Long described his music composition as "subtle but confident compositional" and the album as "a slow burning delight." see www.jon-sanders.com for more details.
