It's All in the Tone:
The Life and Music of Johnnie Jessen
by Johnnie Jessen as told to Kim Pearson.

Read an excerpt from this full life memoir of Seattle's own Johnnie Jessen, a well known musician, performer and teacher for almost eighty years. His unique method of "glottal" blowing has enabled him and his students to attain a superior tone on all woodwind instruments, and his charismatic personality and colorful history has inspired generations of professional musicians and music lovers. This book can be purchased from the Jessen Music Foundation (Email: jessenmusic@comcast.net) and all proceeds will go toward providing music scholarships to deserving junior high and high school students.

"Kim has a gift of drawing out the untold story from a person. She teases out the passion inside a person's head through her non-threatening interviewing style. She then takes the words and crafts them into the likeness of the storyteller. For me, it was helping me tell others why I am passionate about the work I do in my company."
