Jason Shulman, now deceased, was my editor at Oak Publications for "Jazz Harp".  He had a genuine appreciation for the harmonica and for music in general, was very intelligent and clear about what he wanted in every aspect of the book, and was always eager to learn.  I am certain that his efforts made "Jazz Harp" a much better book than it otherwise would have been.
