So we contacted friends and family, collecting what scraps of tape and paper we could, reconstructing these gems and polishing them to present to the world, in hopes that although the man himself was gone, the best parts of him would live on. But upon their occasional return, at gatherings and sporadic jams, it was as if we had only heard them yesterday.Īnd when Jason left us so abruptly three years ago, we began to fear that we might never hear them again. Often years would go by without a peep from these playful and engaging melodies, wrought over so many hard-fought years. However, for those of us who knew Jason, these tunes are old friends, reclusive hermits whose warmth and personality stayed fixed in our ears long after we'd first heard them.

For most of you, this will be the first time you have ever heard these songs.
