"I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Jeff Kazor for many years, spanning a variety of music projects. As I see it, the successful music producer must be able to conjure a unique vision for each project, communicate that vision to the artists and technicians involved (aka herding cats), and ultimately craft the performances, and the thousands of decisions and details into a whole that is greater than the sum of parts—making music that means something to anyone receptive who listens to it. Jeff is a deep thinker and deep listener. The depth of Jeff's thought and listening results in careful attention paid to the most important, most elemental aspects of the focus of the project at hand, while also minding the artist’s overall trajectory—no mean feat! Album production can be an intense experience—long hours, lots of money pressure, all the while, trying to find truth, meaning, and maybe even a little beauty in an ever-increasingly distracting/distracted world. My experiences with Jeff have repeatedly shown him to be thoughtful, considerate, and most importantly kind-hearted—I treasure my relationship with him, am grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to work together in the past, and look forward to more in the future.”
