His originality and innovative style has been praised by music critics and fans alike. The album, released February 1st 2005, is ranked number 10 on the CMJ charts and continues to garner rave reviews by critics. Jeff describes some of the factors which contributed to the success of this remarkable album.

"I used my Yamaha Z tenor and Z alto on the entire recording of my new CD Bloom. Having used them with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones for the last few years, I knew what they could do and I really wanted to put them to the test. I was 100% happy with how the horns worked out. I felt they were flexible in any situation I put them through, the intonation was great and more than anything else, they had a lot of character in the sound. I played other vintage brands for nearly 20 years and am glad I have made the switch! These are truly great horns and I cannot recommend them highly enough for someone looking for the next generation of saxophones."
