DESCRIPTION:
DJ Jazzy Jeff is truly a gem in this music industry. Originally gaining fame in hip hop music alongside Will Smith, he's always had a base founded in r&b and soul music. That manifested with his founding of A Touch of Jazz studios which helped developed some of r&b's biggest stars including Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn, Floetry, and many more. Not to mention producers and songwriters. The goal of those studios was to exercise creative freedom while developing quality music with feeling. That's also exactly what he's been able to accomplish with his new album "Chasing Goosebumps" which came together through a retreat including all of his favorite singers, songwriters, producers and musicians. YouKnowIGotSoul had a chance to speak with him in support of the album and discussed putting the retreat together, his feelings on the music industry, founding A Touch of Jazz studios, favorite memories, and much more.
