Defined by evolution and change, the band has invented it’s own language, one which defies genre. Beginning in Tulsa, OK in 1994 as a funky octet with MCs and horns, JFJO became an instrumental trio in 1999, a quartet in 2007 and expanded to a 9-piece ensemble for 2011's acclaimed Race Riot Suite. Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2014, the band returned to the trio setting with two critically loved albums one of which, Millions: Live In Denver, sold out it's International Record Store Day Release. Now in it's 29th year as a band, JFJO returns to the well known trio line up of Reed Mathis (Bass & Guitar), Brian Haas (Piano) and Jason Smart (Drums). Known as the OG Jacob Fred Trio (2000-2008), this is the version of the band that took EVERYTHING to the next level. This is the jazz trio that U.S. News and World Report called the "#1 New Star of Jazz in the World." Come hear for yourself what true musical cohesion, improvisation and innovation sounds like during JFJO's rare 2 night appearance at The LowDown Tulsa, March 3 and 4, 2023. “…the group has matured into one of the finest and most exciting jazz groups around.” – Billboard Magazine “Frankly, it's hard to think of a more original, fresh-sounding band."- All About Jazz "Haas and company concoct a sonic galaxy far more kaleidoscopic than might seem doable for a trio." -Downbeat Magazine "We are beyond excited to bring the OG Jacob Fred Trio line up of Mathis, Haas and Smart back to Tulsa. After almost 30 years of pushing this unique musical concept we are stoked to show our hometown what we have been up to both individually and collectively. Tulsa always brings out the best in us and we can't wait to bring this music back to it's birthplace."
