I'm a multi-instrumentalist and composer/arranger who can contribute saxophone, bass guitar, keyboards, bass clarinet, and/or a variety of other textures to your songs.
I've got over twenty years of experience playing on records, and over 100 credits to my name. I have a remote setup for recording and it's easy and fun for me to play a saxophone solo on your record, contribute bass or rhythm guitar parts, or arrange a woodwind section. I've also been known to play trombone with increasing frequency.

Interview with Jeff Tobias
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: John Cale is one of my heroes: he's a gifted composer/performer who is equally adept at straightforward songwriting as well as more challenging modern composition. I love the music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and I'm inspired by his love of sound.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I've played saxophone solos on dozens of albums, but I have also recorded clarinet quartets, experimental noise sections, a variety of synth soundscapes, and solid bass guitar work.
I was the composer, saxophonist, keyboardist, bass clarinetist, percussionist in this production
