"Jeff writes and produces music that is sonically and musically interesting. His music rates right up there with many bands on the airwaves. I'd like to hear his music get more airplay."

Jaw-Dropping sound

"Musically, "This" is 14 songs with cosmic lyrics and drop-dead melodies, very Bowie-like, but fresh at the same time. The songs' moods run from sublime tracks like "May Fair Tonight (Interstellar Love Song)", The Girl From Christopher Street", and opener "Bang!" (featuring an appearance by master Richard Barone), to cool rockers like "Stone Hips", "The King Of Queens", and "Neon Soul", to complex, sprawling, cryptically titled tracks like "Asong: About, Abook" (over 6 minutes), and the similarly long "The Ballad Of Fay, Ray, And I". Sometimes you don't know what he's singing about, but that's not the point. It's the total delivery + overall jaw-dropping sound that lure you in, and never lets you go. You can't help but be a victim, a zombie, to the wonders and surprises that lurk around every corner of Jeff's world, and in turn, this masterful, wonderful record.-Larry Davis"

Unbelievable

"I remember when I was 15 and me and my cousins were at the Wildwood water park and the guy from "Willow" came down head first down a waterslide and everyone just went nuts. THIS is that good."
