Since concluding his career with the US Army Field Band, Jazz Ambassadors and relocating to Nashville in the Fall of 2015, Jeff has been fortunate to work with some of the top Commercial Musicians in town...not only in the recording studio and as a member of his wife Cheryl Desere'e's band, but also gigging with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra, Tim Akers & the Smoking Section, Nashville Jazz Orchestra, Vinnie and the Hitmen. (VATH), Lalo Davila & Friends, Music City Big Band, Chris West's very funky Junkyard Horns, and so many other great bands; as well as a few musicals thrown in for good measure, and a lot of sessions.

Jeff holds a Bachelor's in Commercial Music and a Master's of Music in Music Education. He ran a high school music deptartment and maintained a private studio prior to his high-profile time in the Army's top-touring jazz band. Some of his favorite educational assignments are summer jazz camps and the frequent clinics he did through the Army's free clinic program during his nearly 2 decades touring with the Jazz Ambassadors.

Jeff's additional affiliations (some presently, some formerly) are the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the American Federation of Musicians, the International Association of Jazz Educators, JEN, and the International Trombone Association.
