Trombone Virtuoso, Soul Innovator

Born and raised in North Philadelphia, Jeff Bradshaw’s roots run deep in faith and music. Inspired by his father, a gifted musician and vocalist, Jeff was immersed in horn-driven sound from a young age. While his early instruments of choice were the baritone horn and sousaphone, it was the often-overlooked trombone that ultimately spoke to him.

In high school, Jeff’s curiosity led him to explore this underappreciated instrument. What he found was his voice — distinctive, soulful, and destined to redefine how the world hears the trombone.

A visionary of soul-jazz, hip-hop, and funk, Jeff Bradshaw became a leading figure in the Neo-Soul movement that flourished in his hometown of Philadelphia. With a career spanning decades. Jeff has collaborated with an all-star roster that includes:

• Michael Jackson

• Earth, Wind & Fire

• Jay-Z

• Mary J. Blige

• Erykah Badu

• The Roots

• Kirk Franklin

• Dave Koz

• Patti LaBelle

• Jill Scott

• Tyler Perry

• Dave Chappelle

• Anthony Hamilton and more.

With six critically acclaimed solo albums, Bradshaw masterfully blends R&B, Smooth Jazz, and Gospel into a sound that is both magnetic and genre-defying. His live shows are as energetic as they are emotional—transforming how audiences experience the trombone.

In September 2025, Jeff dropped his sixth studio album, The Cure. This same year, he's been on the road with the legendary Patti LaBelle, performing at major jazz festivals, and appearing on the Dave Koz Cruise and the Summer Horns Tour 2025.

And this is just the beginning...
