Jonathan's debut CD release in 1998 entitled simply "guitarist" explores repertoire ranging from Bach to the Beatles and was met with high acclaim. New Age Voice magazine praised the release as a "...sensational debut..." and lauded the artist as "...a young virtuoso with high polished technique, energetic personality and style..." while the Charleston Post and Courier described Jonathan's live performance as "...entertaining...clever and touching...".. To date, Jonathan has also produced five more full length CD recordings. These include releases for Intersound records, Pamplin records and Mel Bay publications as well as independent releases on his own label, Sonic Grapefruit.

Sheet music for Jonathan's guitar compositions are published by Mel Bay publications and his compositions and articles have also appeared in Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine. In 2000, Jon's music was included in the collector's edition Anthology of the "World's Finest Fingerstyle Guitarists". Mel Bay also publishes Jonathan's instructional book "Getting Into Fingerstyle Guitar".
