This live recording draws tunes from Jeff’s extensive catalog of compositions developed over 6 full length album releases in the last 13 years. Accompanied by his regular working rhythm section with Seth Lee on bass and Antonio Reyes on drums, Jeff is clearly comfortable and in his element playing his compositions live at Green Lady Lounge.
Some of the tunes, such as Oneology and Turnt-Up House, are straight ahead jazz. Many of the other tunes are more fusion related. All of the compositions and performances have an original spark that makes them unique.
Jeff grew up just outside Liberty, Missouri. He began playing guitar at age 12 after his grandpa gave him his first guitar, a well-worn “cowboy” acoustic. Jeff soon figured out how to amplify his sound using a homemade FM transmitter and his clock radio. From those early days, Jeff has always been driven by the search for deep, soulful connection through jazz. He strives to pass on the same inspiration he found in his jazz heroes.
