The best kept secret in music

First, let me pay kudos to Jeffrey for not sounding like everyone else. He purports to be a singer of jazz....That he is! Plus, he brings something 'new' to the artform, namely singularity. Jeff offers us his vocalese with a distinct & visceral sound as well as a forceful delivery. Jeff's command of technique & melodic style coupled with his sense of swing, should bring him the preeminence (in future years) as one of our fine interpreters of the American Songbook, an accolade he well deserves.

Immediately you know that you are dealing with a person who has more going for him than a singing voice, although the voice is a remarkable one. His fresh arrangements and treatment of jazz standards reveal a vocalist possessing both a musical mastery of the past, and a risk-taking rush of bravado, serving to showcase his unique talents.
A native of Baltimore, MD Jeff received his Bachelor's Degree in Jazz/Commercial Performance from Towson University, and continued studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee, Jeff has been featured on guitarist Ken Navarro’s After Dark and Pride and Joy CDs. His tours with the jazz vocal group “After Hours” include performing at both the Montreaux and North Sea Jazz Festivals and dates across Europe.
