Biography
JFJO (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey) was founded in 1994. No one is named Jacob Fred. Jazz Odyssey comes from the movie 'This Is Spinal Tap' when the band is forced to perform a show based on free-form improvisation because their bassist just quit.
      Often quirky, eccentric and abstract, JFJO's music is also passionate and complex, but often playful and ambient. JFJO has brought their progressive, critically acclaimed improvisational vision from the Midwest's Bible-Belt to many of the world's finest music festivals and clubs. Even the most cynical critics are blown away by JFJO's instrumental creativity, musical risk, and near telepathy on stage.
     In the past 18 months, JFJO has travelled to Europe three times for two dozen performances and have played at major jazz festivals all over the world. In 2007, JFJO is working on their fourth album with Brooklyn-based Hyena Records to create their most unique album yet.
