Jeff Naylor

Treading the line between science and music, Jeff Naylor studied music and engineering at Northern Arizona University. As a recipient of a full tuition waiver for jazz performance, he studied both electric and acoustic bass under Joel DiBartolo from The Tonight Show. Since earning his Bachelor of Science in engineering, Jeff has been everything from a studio engineer for radio commercials to a diesel mechanic. He has developed intelligent power charging systems for wind turbines and toured with Brazilian funk band Delta Nove.

Jeff enjoys contributing to The Sugar Thieves Soulful mix of Blues and Americana adding haunting textures with his pedal steel and pulsating low end with his old acoustic bass. Jeff draws on legends such as James Jamerson, Paul Chambers and Jaco Pastorious for musical guidance.
