(July 28, 2023) - "Me and Eric have done many singles together," said trombonist Jeff Bradshaw about the featured artist on his newest single "Make Some Time" - Grammy nominated R&B's Eric Robinson. The single is off of his fifth studio album "Jeff Bradshaw: 20" (Music Matters Entertainment/SRG-ILS Group).

He continued about Eric, "He is the most underrated songwriter in America. He was the right person for the song. We have worked really good together. He's a God sent in my career...a wordsmith."

The "Make Some Time" single is the second release from the album celebrating 20 years for Jeff Bradshaw as a solo artist. Jeff is the son of Norman Bradshaw, preacher and Jazz musician who was youth minister at the United House of Prayer for All People in the Philadelphia area. Jeff at an early ag self-taught himself to play the trombone. At church is where he displayed his talent for playing the trombone and producing music.

"I've recorded (as a trombonist) on (projects of) Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Roots, Musiq Soulchild...," said Jeff when I asked about projects he worked on as a musician.

Bradshaw told the story of how he was at a nightclub as a side man to an artist who regularly performed at a particular venue in the early 90s. The artist gets fired and Jeff was asked to step up to the task. With his friends' blessing Jeff Bradshaw steps up and becomes a solo artist. Five albums later he is celebrating the 20-year journey with "Jeff Bradshaw: 20".

"I'd hang out at DJ Jazzy Jeff's home studio A Touch of Jazz," Jeff told me. "There I played for Jill Scott, Floetry.... This is the 20th anniversary of my first (solo) album. Every song is...diverse. It just came together...with so many great producers and artists. The whole process....is blessed." www.JeffBradshaw.com www.MusicMattersEntertainment.net
