Jonathan “J-Boogie” Link, Thomasville, NC: “Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.” Charlie ParkerI became interested in music at a young age and joined the band in middle school. In high school I went on to win district and state band competitions. I also received numerous jazz and solo awards. Music became a passion, and I knew I wanted to play the sax for the rest of my life. I went on to study music for a short time at UNC-G and Pfeiffer University and played for many social events. In 2010 I met Gerald Little and joined Global Grooves.

BASS: Einstein (Joseph A Lockwood)
Joseph “Einstein” Lockwood: This music is our spirits at work. E=mc2
A native New Yorker of Guyanese /Belizean descent, I started playing piano at age 4 but I didn’t like it. Then I tried the congas and the rhythm guitar. At around age 12, I switched to the bass guitar. The rest as they say is history. I was in a family band called the “Brothers 5”. While in Junior High, I started my own band “Elements of Sound”. We played together for 30 years, then I left and moved to Ohio where I joined a band called “Motor City Gold” for two years. Eventually I moved to Greensboro, NC and joined up with Global Grooves. I have studied the masters of the electric bass (Clarke, Wooten and Miller) and studied the styles of many bassists to develop my own signature style.
