"Prior to Targeting; I was lost in a sea of 'Jazz knowledge' and method books. Jason breaks it all down. Even the stuff that I didn't realize went into it. This helped me break down a song, simplify things, and be able to play through those changes."

- Scott Hult, Trumpet Player- Nashville, TN

"It's given me a different and fresh outlook on how to improvise and walk bass lines!"
