Jeff’s interest in music began at the age of 14. After he purchased his first electric guitar, and not having any formal guitar lessons, he began to teach himself how to play with an Alfred's lesson book set. Growing up on Long Island in Kings Park NY there never seemed to be shortage of guitar players and garage bands during the 1970
Jeff’s interest in music began at the age of 14. After he purchased his first electric guitar, and not having any formal guitar lessons, he began to teach himself how to play with an Alfred's lesson book set. Growing up on Long Island in Kings Park NY there never seemed to be shortage of guitar players and garage bands during the 1970‘s.
Most of his musical knowledge began at Kings Park High School, after he was picked by Mr. Barney, the musical director as the guitar player for the H.S. jazz band. Eventually, he formed a three -piece rock band called Zodiac, as a bass guitar player.
From the very beginning, Jeff has always perceived playing an instrument as a way of bringing out one's inner voice . Improvising on his guitar and composing music, has always been his passion. After his marriage to Marie , in 1979 and having 2 children, Stephanie and Craig, his time playing on the guitar was focused mainly on Jam sessions with friends, and writing songs.
After retiring from the post office in 2014 , he decided to put together a live music act consisting of solo improvised guitar music, played against diverse styles of pre-recorded music. With a very supportive family, Classic Jam 1 was born.
My live performance music is considered to be unique, in the sense that all guitar playing is totally improvised, creating a total connection between musician and listening guests.
Great value, because I am offering quality music that is something unique and exciting, at an affordable price, that will always fit within your budget.
Since the very early days of my guitar playing I have always heard an inner voice of music, and have always felt driven to bring to this out on my instrument, the guitar.
I was able follow my musical passion and dreams, through many dedicated years of improvised jam sessions with friends and bands.
I would definitely say that most of my inspiration would come from hearing the heart and soul of all genres of music.
