On this episode, we discuss the launch of Two Jeffs , the first installment in an ambitious four-part digital album series scheduled for release over the next year. The project celebrates longtime friendships, creative partnerships, and the spirit of improvisation through a stellar ensemble featuring Jeff Lederer on saxophone, clarinet, flute, and vocals, Mark Lysher on bass, and Tom Teasley on percussion. Unlike many jazz artists who settle in major music centers, Jeff has intentionally built his career away from cities like New York, drawing inspiration from quieter communities. After spending nearly two decades in Shepherdstown, West Virginia , he now calls Middletown, Maryland home—an environment that has profoundly shaped his musical philosophy, creativity, and approach to collaboration. During our conversation, we explore the making of Two Jeffs , the power of long-term musical relationships, free improvisation, creative independence, composing outside the mainstream, rural life, and the evolving landscape of contemporary jazz. For fans of adventurous jazz, creative improvisation, and thoughtful conversations with today's leading musicians, this is an interview you won't want to miss.
