About Jeff

-Formal Education-

Fall 1972 through Winter 1973 Moorpark College, CA - Math Major / music minor (3 semesters)

Fall 1975 through Winter 1976 University of Colorado - Math Major / music minor (3 semesters) Studied music theory at the University of Colorado under professors Paris Rutherford (Regent of Jazz Studies - University of North Texas), and Dr. William L. Fowler (Downbeat magazine education editor, Segovia alumnus, and co-inventor of the piezo pickup).

Studied Piano with Jazz piano great Hank Troy in Denver. Studied Saxophone with Dr. Matt Zebley (alto saxophonist w/ Brian Setzer Orchestra and Director of Jazz Studies at Diablo Valley College · Pleasant Hill, CA). Studied Classical Violin under Maestra Rebecca Price.

-Teaching and Performing Experience-

Eight years teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) for The inlingua International School of Languages. Five of those years in Switzerland, and three years as director of their school on the island of Tenerife in the Canaries.

Upon my return to the States, I began giving music lessons in several stores and schools around SoCal, and then found my ‘home’ and taught full-time continuously at the same music store in Riverside, California from the Spring of 2001 thru Spring of 2020 when I began teaching exclusively online.

I have over three decades of experience as a teacher both one-on-one and in groups at all levels and ages, and fifty years of performance experience.

I’ve done thousands and thousands of gigs all over Europe and the United States: solo jazz piano, jazz combos, folk groups, rock bands, horn ensembles, discos, festivals, weddings, funerals, private parties, clubs, pubs, restaurants, casinos, beer tents, dance troupes, concert halls, country clubs, casuals, dive bars, pickup gigs, backyard barbecues, pretty much you name it.

I have been fortunate enough throughout my life to be able to make my living off of Music (and still do!).

I am currently the Musical Director and Lead Singer for my modern Jazz septet horn band. Also I write all the arrangements for every instrument in the ensemble.

I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks, Jeff
