Jay Si Proof blends the finesse of a Steely Dan arrangement with the exploratory production of a Chick Corea record.” - Gus Berry Jackpot Recording Studio

About

 

Jay Si Proof, or JSP, is the philosophical indie funk vision of multi-instrumentalist composer/arranger Jeff Chilton (Jay Si) whose credits include performing with The Diamonds, The Platters, Broken Social Scene, and recording on over 20 albums by Portland based ensembles. Described as "earth jazz alchemists" by Vortex Magazine, JSP was born in 2019 from the soggy jazz soaked earth of Portland, OR. Since its inception, the band has evolved through adventurous jazz fusion to low-fi jams to a full fledged funk party, all while prioritizing genuine messages of spirituality and human betterment in the midst of endless modern crises. Jay Si is joined by Lucas James (drums and vocals) JD Erickson (sax and flute), and Corey Heppner (guitar).

 

This group is super versatile! From the Scofield-esk guitar solo to the searing sound of Jeff Chilton’s trombone, [Jay Si Proof] goes beyond while maintaining roots in the language of jazz.” - Luis Ocasio KMHD Jazz Radio
