Born in Chicago in 1956, Jeff Silvertrust has been influenced by such musical artists as Sun Ra, Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. For over 30 years, he has been performing in various jazz clubs playing the trumpet and performing his one-man-band act. He plays the trumpet with his right hand, piano with his left hand, hi-hat with his right foot and develops programmable bass lines as each tune dictated. Silvertrust performs Jazz standards with occasional drum breaks and tasty riffs to the delight of appreciative audiences. This phenomenal musical act has allowed him to work exclusively as a full-time musician since 1980. Silvertrust has a European home base in Belgium. While residing in Europe, he is active playing with his German quartet as well as gigs as a one-man band.
