Thanks in part to the Internet, there are now an increasing number of eminent soloists programming music by Jonathan FeBland in their concerts. Among these are David Johnstone (Spain-based British 'Cellist), Leah Lock (Australian Flautist), David Chew (Brazil-based British 'Cellist), Diane Clark (British Flautist), Walter Achermann (Swiss Clarinettist), Prof. Glenn Egner (Venezuela-based American Flautist), Andrew Doyle (Australian Clarinettist), Hannah Gröschl (German Clarinettist) and Anson Wauchope (British Flautist).
Since May 2008, Jonathan has been collaborating on a popular-style album with multi-talented musician Mike Turtle. They have scheduled a recording session in Switzerland with the exceptional pop-vocalist Jessica Knoll, for April '09 and the first thirty or so sketches for this project are already visible below under "Newest Pop Material..." and "Pop Piano Pieces".
