In 1990 Jeff formed his own independent label called JazzDog
Records. Jeff's first two recordings, "Dancing on Thin
Ice" and "Hip Flip," received excellent reviews
and earned him recognition as the "Spotlite on New Talent"
in Guitar Player magazine, and praise from guitar monsters
Mike Stern and Eric Johnson.
Influenced by artists such as Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans
and Pat Martino, Jeff pays tribute to his straight ahead roots
with his release, "For the Music"© 2000. Recorded
at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California, this session features
Wally Schnalle on drums and Jeff Chambers on acoustic bass.
The trio performs seven standards and two of Jeff's original
compositions. "For the Music" has received rave
reviews along with local and national airplay.
Massanari's newest release, "Groovework" explores
the combination of funk and jazz through11 of Jeff's original
compositions - Available April 1st!
Jeff plays either a 51 Epiphone Zephyr Regent or a Fender
D'Aquisto guitar. For his more electric work, Jeff uses either
a Fender Strat or a Telecaster. He plays through a Rivera
all-tube amp and uses Monster cables.
