An innovative composer and electrifying performer, JJ brings a “take no prisoners” attitude to the stage night after night, blending Smooth Jazz, Traditional Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Reggae into a vibrant live experience.
A graduate and award winner from Berklee College of Music, he has shared the stage with numerous international artists and even performed at Sir Paul McCartney’s wedding in 2002. His festival appearances include the Berks Jazz Festival, Rehoboth Jazz Festival, Blue Note Jazz Festival, Seabreeze Jazz Festival, Mallorca Jazz Festival, Orlando Jazz Festival, Algarve Jazz Festival, Lake Arbor Jazz Festival, Cancun Jazz Festival, Arizona Jazz Festival, and many more.
JJ continues his international touring through 2026 in support of his sixth album, Conversations, released by Innervision Records. The album follows a series of successful radio hits including “Style and Elegance,” “Keep Your Head Up,” and “Ride With Me,” which have all topped the Billboard charts. One of JJ’s recent collaborations is with reggae icon Maxi Priest. Together they created the powerful original song “Blessed With A Melody,” which has already topped both the Jazz and Reggae charts. JJ continues writing and recording new music while enjoying the success of his 19th radio single, “Let It Go,” which is quickly climbing the charts.
“Think Karl Denson or Norman Brown with a bit more funk. A lot of the guitar work seems to be inspired by greats like Wes Montgomery and George Benson.”
“J.J.’s guitar playing style will remind you of Lee Ritenour. He’s a future star in the world of smooth jazz music.”
