Jazz, Pop, and Folk Collide: Eddie Gripper & Elijah Jeffery’s “captivating” New Album (TOUR 2025)
Join Elijah and Eddie for the home launch of their “eagerly awaited” (The Jazz Mann) collaboration
Written and recorded within 8 weeks this self-entitled album is the culmination of both musician’s fruitful working relationship and individual passion for songwriting. With seven original songs and one never-before heard adaptation of a 17th century Aria, Elijah Jeffery & Eddie Gripper offer up an “straddling the genres of progressive pop, indie folk and alternative jazz.
Whilst both trained in jazz, their influences are wide-ranging. The original compositions on this album reflect the natural fusion of Elijah and Eddie’s individual musical styles from the folk-inspired “Shifting Seasons” to the introspective jazz ballad “Because of You”, the art-pop of “Close Your Eyes”, and a modern take on the Baroque aria “Dido’s Lament”. They believe this album embodies a growing desire for trans-genre collaboration, progressive songwriting, and storytelling in today’s streaming age.
