This album was born from a truly epic, single day session at Sear Sound, a studio that has seen the creation of masterpieces by the likes of Wilco ("A Ghost is Born"), John Lennon, Norah Jones, andJimi Hendrix. Engineered by Gene Paul (son of Les) and produced by the Grammy Award-winner Joel Dorn, who has also produced such greats as Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Keith Jarrett and Yusef Lateef, The Sameness of Difference was clearly created from the stuff from which legends are born. Following its release in October 2005, JFJO quickly made their debuts in South America and Europe.

4. Grub Ridge Stomp

With the addition of drummer Jason Smart, this live record of two inspired nights at New York's legendary Knitting Factory established the bold new direction the trio was to take in the coming years. The compositions are more varied and melodic, the instruments achieve textures they'd never before dreamed of, and the trio takes the New York audience from a roar to a whisper and back.

Recorded in two afternoon sessions, one in Chicago and one in sunny L.A., Self Is Gone is a powerful dose of electric free-jazz first takes. The centerpiece of the album is 19-minute "Tunjito/Singapore," where the trio flows from one wall of sound to another in seamless group improvisation. Self Is Gone features Matt Edwards on drums and is a great document of the trio's raw electric sound circa 2000-2001.

Recorded a few days into the new millenium, this live snapshot captures the 'Jacob Fred Trio' of Brian Haas, Reed Mathis, and Matthew Edwards during a weekly residency that lasted nearly a year, allowing them to hone their sound as a trio into something entirely new. A few months later, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey was officially reborn as a trio, and their second life began.

Original JFJO drummer Sean Layton was not only a master of drumming, he was an innovative and genius songwriter, lyricist and vocalist as well. Mixed, compiled and produced by Reed Mathis after Sean's tragic death in 2001, this album presents 10 of Sean's amazing tunes with JFJO, The Neighbors and with Sean Layton unaccompanied.

10. Walking Before Daylight

JFJO's first album on a national record label, Accurate Records, Welcome Home received rave reviews ("Rookies of the Year!" - Signal to Noise) and documents the seven-piece Jacob Fred at the peak of their unity and group-concept. This album finds them exploring a variety of odd-meter compositions ("Seven Inch Six," "MMW," "Seventh Greenbelt"), hip-hop poly-chomatic dixieland ("Muskogee Smalls"), and post-Miles sound-tapestries ("Road to Emmaus"). Welcome Home is widely considered the most evolved album by the old JFJO septet line-up.

1. Seven Inch Six
2. Muskogee Smalls
3. MMW
4. Mountain Scream
5. Stomp
6. Welcome Home
7. Seventh Greenbelt
8. Road To Emmaus

JFJO's second album launched them into the national touring scene, partly based on it's expanded variety of styles & sounds, and partly based on the assumption that it was really recorded in Tokyo. Actually, it was recorded in Tulsa, OK - half live at The Eclipse and half in a studio owned by punk rock legends N.O.T.A. With a feel of party-funk, many of these tracks feature the vocal stylings of keyboardist Brian Haas who demonstrates his affinity for The Roots ("The Good Times") and the Dead Kennedy's ("MTV Get Off The Air Part 2") and well as vocals by guitarist Dove McHargue & trombonist Matt Leland, and announcer Tai Chi Tamura. And of course, there is plenty of exploratory improvisation.

11. The Good Times

In the beginning, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey was an octet with three horns, guitar, bass, drums, rhodes, and percussion, and their gigs at the old punk-rock bar Eclipse in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma are the stuff of local legend. Full of unbridled youthful adrenaline and inventive eight-piece arrangements, this record of their early shows is part Ornette Coleman's Prime Time, part Maceo Parker, and part Red Hot Chili Peppers.
