Jeff Mackevich: Home

Summertime at last!

Welcome to my website. My new CD "Boytoy" is available now! You are welcome to listen to some sound clips, or purchase a copy of "Boytoy" at CD Baby.com (see Links).

I'm playing at sessions around the city: Chamber's in Niles, University Club in Hyde Park, and others. And of course my standing gig for the last 8 years at the Beth Emet Soup Kitchen also in Evanston.

Some new things are happening! I've started a new funky jazz group called J BEAM BAND. It is made up of Damian Espinosa on keyboards, Alex Feldman on electric bass, and Tyrone Blair on drums. We are playing the music of the Yellowjackets, David Sanborn, the Brecker Brothers, Stevie Wonder, the Crusaders, and more. We played at Gabe's in Highwood on Friday November 6; thanks for coming out.

The Chicago Jazz Festival was a big success, as Ben Neuman and I were joined by Mike Jeffers on drums and John Tate on bass on the spot. No rehearsals or planning. Just get together and jam! (Go to Links-Youtube on this site)

Thank you for stopping in. Jazz lives!
