Jeff Gill - Owner
Jeff was born and raised in East County where he and his wife raised four sons. Jeff's early interest in music led him to taking piano lessons and trumpet lessons as a kid. When the Beatles hit in 1964, Jeff started playing rock-n-roll drums "to impress girls" which quickly progressed into a love for Jazz.
After graduating from LMC Jeff transferred to CSUN where he was the principal percussionist in the university wind ensemble. Jeff now spends most of his musical time drumming hard on his Ginger Baker (Cream) double bass drum kit or playing jazz piano with variety of uber-talented friends.
