    Artist description
    Blessed with intergalactic fingertips and a funky presence, Jeff graciously plays an array of keyed instruments for several jazz, reggae and ska groups in the Northeast. This may include on any different occasion, piano, organ, electric piano, clavinet or melodica. After arriving on planet earth, Jeff found himself singing in Odd Man Out and the Rest of Us, a 3rd wave ska/punk outfit based in Western Massachusetts. After being relocated by the mothership to the city of Boston, and finding his vocal abilities less than adequate for most forms of western music, he became infatuated with the groovalistic keyboard styles of jazz, reggae, funk and blues. The knowledge he gained from this incubation period has allowed him to play or sit in with many ska/reggae band/singers including Phyllis Dillon, Dion Knibb and the Agitators, Pressure Cooker, The King J Reggae All-Stars along with gigging in jazz combos and big bands under the direction of the great Bill Lowe. Jeff currently devotes most of his time to Westbound Train, Monkey Gone Mad (Albany based ska/funk band), his lovely and talented girlfriend Lua, conforming to the standards of planet earth via Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University, and enhancing his mind-bending piano sound. This solo project was the product of being trapped in a cubical for a week with only a 4-track, a computer, an analog synth and a funky vibe. Shake yo' Hips!
