Jeff Bradshaw may be more soul than you can handle, but you'll definitely be up for the challenge. The first time I laid my ears on the sounds of Jeff, I was at a Jill Scott show. He was part of her new horn section. From the moment he blew into his trombone, you could tell there was something different in him. The combo of Philly mixed with a church and musical upbringing, seeped from his pores.  So much so that he has to dance it out as he blows into his horn.  

His debut album on Hidden Beach Records - home to his North Philly sister Jill Scott - Bone Deep exploded with all types of great soul sounds, including some super soulful voices like Creative Ambassador Carol Riddick, Glen Lewis, Ndambi, Bilal and Jill Scott.  He has this way of pairing the perfect vocalist with the perfect song. Unlike other horn and vocal collabos you've heard, Jeff has a way of actually getting his horn to sing.  If you don't believe me just give it a listen and you may hear his horn enunciate actual lyrics!  And, if you cant understand what the horn is saying, Jeff might just sing it for you. 

Needless to say, I am more than ready for his second studio album, which is also a double album called, Bon Appetit and Introducing Brass Heaven (Jeff's other project, a full brass brand).

I caught up with Jeff at the video shoot for his new single, "Til Tomorrow" with Philly's own Miss Jade and a Philly cousin, Raheem Devaughn. I asked him, "What is it about Philly?" Check out what he had to say.
