Trombonist Jeff Bush has been on the New York City music scene since arriving in 2000. The Apollo, Pennsylvania native began studying music at the age of four on an unlikely instrument, the banjo. He followed with the piano, then discovered the trombone. It was a good match. While a student at Youngstown State University in Ohio, Bush performed with The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra and toured with The Glenn Miller Orchestra. In his final year, Bush became linked to his musical hero, receiving the Frank Rosolino Memorial Scholarship. The award led Bush to be featured at the 1999 International Trombone Festival and to study in Berlin, Germany with trombonist, Jiggs Whigham.

Jeff began a Master's degree in 2000 at The Manhattan School of Music and instantly knew that New York City would be his new home. Since then, he has been honored to perform in such venues as Birdland, Carnegie Hall, The Apollo Theatre, Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, and The Village Vanguard. Bush has worked with a number of great jazz artists including The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, The Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Cyrus Chestnut, Kevin Mahogany, Marlena Shaw, Jon Hendricks, Anthony Braxton, and Charli Persip. Bush has also been a featured soloist and substitute conductor for The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

In other musical genres, Jeff has worked with The Temptations, John Fogarty, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and HBO's The Sopranos. He has also performed in the pit orchestras of the Broadway shows Wonderful Town, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Pajama Game, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Bush has recorded several albums as a sideman, working with David Berger and The Sultans of Swing (Hindustan) and Fernando Otero (Plan). He can even be heard in "jingles" for the TV show, Jeopardy, and for Rice-A-Roni!

Currently, Jeff performs with The New Life Jazz Orchestra, The Cab Calloway Orchestra, The Jeff Bush - Max Seigel Group, and The Big Apple All-Stars.

Most recently, he was hired by Harry Connick Jr. as lead trombone in the Big Band, for the Oh My Nola tour.
