Jon De Lucia

Attending Berklee College of Music, Jon De Lucia had the opportunity to study privately with such amazing teachers as Frank Tiberi, George Garzone, Andy McGhee, Shannon LeClaire, and Bill Pierce. Later he studied with forward-thinking alto saxophonist and Blue Note artist Greg Osby. He was selected to play in a group led by Blue Note artist Joe Lovano and appeared on televised, nationally-syndicated workshops through PBS' WGBH.

After graduation from Berklee, Jon went on his first tour of Japan as part of Berklee faculty member Makoto Takenaka's Berklee Jazz Quintet. This led to four subsequent tours of Japan over the next two years with various groups including Standard Deviation, a band co-led by Jon De Lucia and guitarist Hironobu Saito.

In Japan, Europe, and the United States, Jon De Lucia has appeared frequently in newspapers, on television and the radio, notably live on WGBH in 2005, and live on Fuji Terebi for Japanese Television in 2006.  Most recently, Jon has performed with Bob Moses, Kendrick Scott, Francisco Mela, Tommy Crane, Mark Walker, David Tronzo, John Lockwood, Bob Gullotti and Geoffrey Keezer and can be found performing frequently in New York and Boston with the Jon De Lucia Group.

Jon has been teaching privately from Japan to Ireland and back in the US for 8 years, dealing with all age groups and skill levels.
