Trumpeter Jeff Bordes, hailing from Northern California, is renowned for his soulful and heart-driven playing, deeply influenced by the gritty New Orleans sound. Leading the ensemble Jeff Bordes & Friends for the past 15 years, they've captivated audiences in sold-out theaters across the west coast, exploring diverse musical themes.
Jeff's illustrious career includes collaborations with Richie Cole, Tower of Power's David Garibaldi and Roger Smith, Tom Petty, Steve Earle, Karl Denson, Sugarhill Gang, and John Mellencamp. Having toured in Japan and the U.S. with groups like Dizzy Gillespie, The Heather Combs Band, Force 7, and Scapegoat Wax, Jeff's prowess shines, hailed by The Chico Synthesis as a "seasoned pro" with inspiring jazz improvisation.
