With his newest album, next, Jeff brings his horn front and center – you'll hear his unmistakable tone floating over these 12 new tracks like never before. For Jeff, this album is about rebirth and change, and tells the story of what’s next for him, both as a musician and in his life.

With next, Jeff creates a new genre – New Age Ambient Funk – and along for the ride are guitarist Nile Rodgers (Chic, Daft Punk, David Bowie, Madonna) on the title track, and five songs created during a legendary session with the duo of drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie and bassist Chuck Rainey – musicians that he has adored for generations.

All The Way

This arrangement of the Christmas classic, "Do You Hear What I Hear," was arranged by yours truly for acapella group Committed. It is the 3rd track on their Christmas EP, "Home For Christmas."

Do You Hear What I Hear

UP TO THE MOUNTAIN

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King dreamed of a worldwide love that transcended race, religion, and background. Patty Griffin gave melody to that vision in this song — and in this soaring, gospel-infused rendition, Kellerman takes listeners again to the mountain peak, lifted upwards by full band, choir, and the lush colors of his flute.

04 Up To The Mountain

The love of brotherhood, whether forged by blood or circumstance, can be unbreakable. Just look at the partnership forged between Kellerman and his Winds of Samsara collaborator, Ricky Kej, as proof of how mutual respect and admiration can span oceans and result in beautiful works of art — including this powerful and uplifting track, which the team composed, recorded, and produced together across thousands of miles. “Aishwarya” tells the story of a young country girl seemingly destined for a simple life of domesticity. Instead, she summons the courage to disrupt tradition and defy expectations, to leave her home and study, to build a better life for herself, her family, and her community. This beautiful arrangement speaks to the love we must have for ourselves in order to make great risks — and follow even greater dreams.

WINTER 
(featuring Soweto Gospel Choir) 

Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. — Erich Fromm

Great classical composers like Antonio Vivaldi have spoken the language of love with unmatched fluency, translating its transcendent power into timeless melodies and harmonies. Here, an excerpt from Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons is given new life through the vivid voices of the Soweto Gospel Choir— and Kellerman’s unmistakable solo flute voice leading the way.

SI DO MHAIMEO

This traditional Irish song speaks of a young man on the verge of marrying an older woman for her wealth. Will he marry her, the song asks, and will he drink away her fortune as soon as he gains it? Kellerman weaves this tongue-in-cheek tale with jaunty and playful flights of flute and orchestra.

ZININZI
(featuring The Soil)
From Johannesburg to New York, Rio de Janeiro to Tokyo, fascinating cities have drawn so many of us into life-changing affairs of the heart. Yet as this propulsive track makes clear, great things can blossom just as fruitfully outside the concrete jungle as within. Kellerman composed this ode to the countryside with multi-platinum-selling South African acapella singing group The Soil. Here, he revisits the song’s rollicking hills and rolling meadows with tight vocal harmonies and drivingly percussive grooves.
