Here's what people are saying about Jeff Fuller:
“Jeff Fuller and his trio are absolutely “happenin’ ” on his newest recording, “Happenstance”. Each composition and arrangement is beautifully executed by the trio, with sophistication and modernism. Fuller’s bass lines, as always, are brilliantly crafted as well as his masterful soloing. Indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed this record! “ ~ Christian Sands, pianist, composer, Christian McBride.
“A wonderful new release with 4 remarkable musicians… should be part of your collection… a great compilation of original selections!” ~ Donn Trenner, pianist, conductor and arranger.

It's been a rough couple of weeks. The current health crisis has everyone on edge, and fear is paralyzing many us. To top it off, we lost one of the true giants of jazz a few days ago, the great McCoy Tyner.
McCoy partnered with John Coltrane to forever change the way people play and hear the music.
We will celebrate McCoy's legacy while we use the healing vibrations of real jazz music to put us all in a better state of mind. Please join us.
