Jeffrey Burr is lauded for his combination of effortless bebop and a winsome chordal technique, which he uses to build the harmonic qualities of his songs. His preferred stylistic approach emphasizes mainstream straight-ahead jazz influence, using his voice as the primary expressive force, Jeffrey utilizes his music to explore narratives as he believes in forming an emotional connection with the listener, creating satisfying musical experiences and blurring the distinction between art and entertainment. His latest recording, featuring mostly his own compositions, is entitled Bright Blue.

Featuring:
Eric Markowitz – bass
Hamir Atwal – drums
Jeffrey Burr – guitar
