Jeff Ellom is a young trumpet player from Kelowna with a background in jazz. He played lead horn in several award-winning high school jazz bands and combos, and received the KSS Music Award in grade 12. After graduating high school he joined Moni Funk and the Groove Machine as a natural segue into soul and funk. Drawing from his roots, he delivers smooth Motown melodies to screaming funk riffs. Jeff, influenced by The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, and Earth Wind & Fire, continues to expand his repertoire and grow as a musician.
