Jeff Simmons has performed and recorded with: Lowell Fulson and Pee Wee Crayton, musical director and musician for Guitar Shorty, Etta James and Mary Wells, and several stints with the legendary Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. He is a pyrotechnic player on his many instruments while maintaining the 'soul factor', and his wild and witty stage rap is something to experience! http://music.aol.com/artist/jeff-simmons/1016655
