SOULSCAPE – New single by Jef Kearns Available Now!

November 20, 2017 By Lesley Vander Welle

AVAILABLE NOW! Jef Kearn’s Soulscape was released November 17, 2017 and is now available on all major streaming and retail platforms at http://smarturl.it/feykn1

Jef Kearns’ new single “Soulscape” comes off the heels of the R&B flautist being featured in XXL (Hip Hop at a Higher Level) Magazine’s top 20 Hip Hop Covers on Instruments, and inclusion of original composition “Jazz Addiction” on Spotify’s official Smooth Jazz Ride playlist.

Recorded and composed live in the studio, Soulscape is a jazz-meets-hip-hop instrumental which could be likened to the darker, more sensual brother of George Benson’s “Breezin’.”

New Release – Just Jane

October 18, 2016 By Lesley Vander Welle

Rare music talents Jef Kearns and Carlos Morgan merge their uncommon abilities for a new rendition of the classic hit Just Jane. Just Jane is a romantic tale about discovering and falling in love with the treasures in a woman considered “just ordinary” by many.

Written by Laura Torno, Earl Torno, and Kurt Hagen, Just Jane has seen various treatments over the years, most notably by Carlos Morgan. Now, Jef Kearns offers a new and refreshing instrumental take on the piece originally recorded by award winning R&B vocalist Carlos Morgan.

“Carlos has an amazing vocal ability,” says Jef, “and I’m honoured to work with him and welcome the magic of his complementary backing on the track.”

“I’m thrilled to be working with Jef on Just Jane,” says Carlos of their first-time collaboration. “He’s a remarkable artist whose talents bring a fresh counterpoint to a beautiful melody.”

The track will be available for streaming and download on October 11, 2016 from iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Tidal, and Spotify.

Jef Kearns is a best selling flautist focused on instrumental R&B and Soul “pop music” with a hint of jazz. Detroit Jazz Magazine said that Jef “makes the flute speak the urban language of soul” with a sound “you normally don’t hear from flautists.” Smooth Jazz Therapy, the go-to site for smooth jazz reviews, described Jef as “dispelling the myth that flute players can’t do urban jazz.” Jef is a constant feature on the Toronto music scene, while his albums have topped international charts from Japan to the UK, Denmark to the US.
