Jeff King

Toronto born musician Jeff King began performing at the early age of 15 in many R&B and jazz groups—all while still going to high school. His serious musical studies continued as he obtained a degree in classical music from the University of Western Ontario. While studying classical music, he continued to perform and work at his first musical love—jazz—and began performing more and more in the jazz idiom while in University.

His post-graduate studies brought him back to Toronto where he studied with Kirk MacDonald, Phil Nimmons, and a host of other Canadian and international jazz greats.

He now enjoys an active performing life both in Canada and in the U.S. He has recorded and performed with the likes of Paquito D'Rivera, Horacio El Negro Hernandez, Paul Shaffer, Terry Clarke, Kieran Overs, Alexis Baro, David Braid, Luis Mario Ochoa, Joel Haynes, David Virelles, and most recently with the Hilario Duran Big Band. He also has two albums under his own leadership—“Off Balance”, and “Urban and Eastern”.
