His playing can also be heard on numerous CDs, TV shows and movie soundtracks. As a freelance artist and studio musician, Jeff is sought after for his compelling focus on time and groove.

Jeff always has the perfect groove and his drums sound so
warm and punchy that they make the entire band sound better.   -  guitarist  Pat Kelley 

Jeff is hands-down one of the most musical people I’ve ever met. Deep and funky, but with serious finesse in everything he does. He’s my first call for any session, and he works tirelessly to nail a flawless take.

Jeff is the consummate class gentleman. He's the artist that just kicked your ass with "shading" all while leaving you with the knowledge that monster drummers sometimes arrive soft spoken ... then quietly leave shoes too big to fill.
