   MusicMafiaUK presents...Jeff Green

    Growing up in the 70’s in Northern California, Jeff Green was exposed to many Country and Southern Rock bands of the day, including The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brother, Poco, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws,  and The Charlie Daniels Band.  Although these bands were to play a large part in Jeff’s later career, it was the influence of the Progressive Rock bands, Yes, Rush, The Who and Pink Floyd (particularly David Gilmour’s solo in the song “Money”) that initially grabbf’s attention.  

Jeff’s musical training began at the tender age of seven with the clarinet, encouraged by his Grandfather who was a huge Benny Goodman fan.  Piano lessons followed but didn’t last too long as the “otherworldly” tones of Progressive Rock ushered in his adolescence and led Jeff to his first guitar

A much beloved “Woolworth’s Top 20”, purchased on one of Jeff’s summer visits to his mother and younger brother in England.  Despite guitar strings the size of telephone wires, and an extremely “uncomfortable action”, that would make a grown man cry; Jeff pursued his newly found instrument with enthusiasm and diligence.

The album, Jessica,  has received great reviews from Classic Rock Prog magazine, The Classic Rock Society, Fireworks mag, Prog Sphere, Guitar Techniques mag just to name a few. It has some amazing guitar work on this album that I think you will love. The album includes Mike Stobbie (Pallas), Pete Riley (Keith Emerson, John Wetton) and UK guitar legend Phil Hilborne

Jeff's album inspiration concerns a very sad event in his life with all profits from this album are being donated to a Hospital in Essex, UK.

Considering the subject matter Jeff has made this album very uplifting and inspiring with no hint of melancholy as you might expect.
