David Crosby & Friends
After over 30 years of working together, the news of David’s passing has hit home deeply. Besides the amazing music shared, the friendship and camaraderie created a deep bond between David & Jeff. To to put the magnitude of gratitude that Jeff feels about David, would be impossible to relate here in words, but fortunately, the memories and a vast amount of music they created together in CPR, Crosby/Nash, CSN and the many ensembles David & Jeff experienced together, remains. We will miss his Cheshire Cat laugh and of course, the incredible music that poured out if his soul for the time he was here. Rest In peace dear brother, David.
For over 30 years, Jeff shared the stage with David Crosby in various musical combinations. Jeff was partners with David and James Raymond in their band, CPR which released 4 albums of co-written material, featuring many songs Jeff co-wrote. There is a documentary called CPR: Thru The Music that combines interview footage with CPR’s debut performance at the world renown, Montreux Jazz Festival, in 1998.
Prior to that ensemble, Jeff also performed in a trio with David & Graham Nash for a number of years including a bucket-list show at Carnegie Hall in 1993. Jeff also toured with Crosby, Stills & Nash in 2004 and 2005.
In 2017, Jeff was contacted by David Crosby to tour together after a 12-year hiatus of working together.
Jeff joined David, David’s son, James Raymond, and CPR alumni Steve Distanislao, along with new friends, Mai Agan, and Michelle Willis for tours that included playing the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Plans include two, 6 week long tours in 2020.
Jeff also played guitar on Crosby’s 2017 release Sky Trails on the song “Sell Me A Diamond”.
Here is a 5 star review from the last European tour date of 2018 in London at Shepards Bush Empire Theatre.
