| Musical journeys of startling originality - Evening Post NZ | |
| Pianist Crayford has that Dave Brubeck/Horace Silver lyrical quality - Jazz Review, New York | |
| Jonathan’s classical training is evident in many of his compositions with Bach, Ravel and Debussy influences. He says, “as a child he absorbed jazz by osmosis” through his father, well-known jazz musician Terry Crayford. Jonathan is a master of Latin and Afro/Cuban rhythms. Cuban Song, one of his own compositions was truly mind blowing, displaying a virtuosity of phenomenal magnitude. - Northern News | |
