We continue the conversation with the immensely talented Jeff Babko. No stranger to the stage, concert halls and recording studio Jeff Babko’s extensive resume includes playing with Alanis Morrisette, Maná, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Julio Iglesias, Cheryl Crow, Shelby Lynn, TOTO, James Taylor, Jason Mraz, Frank Ocean, Smokey Robinson, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and many. many more. Some of his film credits include The 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Jack Reacher 2, Tenet, Ford vs. Ferrari, Selma. Jeff has been the touring musical director and accompanist for Martin Short since 2002, and also performs with Mr. Short & Steve Martin, also joined by the Grammy award winning bluegrass group Steep Canyon Rangers. Babko can be seen on Steve Martin & Martin Short's Emmy nominated and wildly popular Netflix special. Babko has five solo albums out under his own name, including 2012’s critically acclaimed “Crux” for Tonequake Records, featuring Mark Isham, Tim Lefebvre and Matt Chamberlain, and his most recent vinyl release, “El Musico” (2019). His 2007 release “Mondo Trio” w/ Jeff Coffin and Vinnie Colaiuta is considered a classic "drum fusion" record. The collective supergroup "Band Of Other Brothers" with Will Lee, Dave Matthews Band's Jeff Coffin, Nir Felder and Steely Dan's Keith Carlock was a critical favorite and the band headlined the Iridium in NYC in 2017. In his spare time, Jeff keeps busy running and recording in his own studio, TudorTones, where he also records and collaborates with his wife, studio violinist Songa Lee.
