1996
Enchantress

"Serry's fleet fingered runs on songs like the jaunty catchy "Dyt It" are both technically impressive and subtle. His ballads are equally disarming… "Heartfelt" is warm and resonant... Listen and prepare to be enchanted."
--JazzTimes


1980
Jazziz (currently out of print)

"The strongest aspect of Serry's style is his interlocking rhythms in shifting time signatures...funky hiccupping lines dodge around one another...the forward motion is so compelling...it's a little like being in orbit.  Serry achieves a remarkable amount of coloration."
--Keyboard


1979
Exhibition (currently out of print)

"Serry routinely rips through stylistic changes with energy and finesse to burn...a flair for dexterous melodies... a triumph"
--****(4 stars) Downbeat


The unreleased L. A. master, entitled P.O.V. (Point of View) was produced by John (1982) and has Bob Sheppard (sax, fl), Larry Klein (bs, elec. bs), Steve Houghton (dms), and John on piano and fender rhodes. All compositions and arrangements by John: P.O.V., Duet Silhouette, After Words, Precious, Enchantress, Heartfelt.  The last 3 were rerecorded on the Telarc CD, "Enchantress" (14 years later with different personnel).  It is the earlier version of Enchantress that won John the Jazziz magazine Keyboards on Fire competition (1995).
