Note how that funky groove in '77 has a Jake to the Bone feel/vibe to it almost 15 years later? I updated my site as of late and found a bunch of stuff lurking never seen before newly posted. Two new 2017 articles, DRUM! and an interview from Jeff's father Joe honoring Jeff's birthday with a great a...

1977 w/Larry Carlton & Robbin Ford...some hip funky Jeff

Sklar is smooth as glass along with JJ watching that studi...

Little Jeff magic on this one...
