Inductee of the Week:
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey


2003 Legacy Tribute Award Inductee

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey pulls influences from almost every genre of music to create
a distinctive sound of its own, one often described as quirky, abstract or excentric,
but with a deep commitment to improvisation at its core.

Formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1994, JFJO has evolved
from an octet to a trio in 1999 to the current quartet in 2009. The
present band consists of founder Brian Haas on keyboards, Chris Combs on guitar
and lap steel, Jeff Harshbarger on upright bass, and Josh Raymer on drums.
