Jeff Pifher

Jeff Pifher is a musician, composer, and producer. With his band, Socrates' Trial, Pifher has released three studio recordings since 2018: Socrates' Trial (2018), Alternate Futures/Past Realities (2019), and Anthem (2019). Pifher's original compositions were inspired by the sounds of both classical and jazz legends as well as his desire to transform rhythms into melodies that tell a story. The influence of rock, pop, and even classical sounds on band members, combined with jazz roots as reflected in extended improvisations result in an expressive yet cohesive playing style that makes for a memorable and entertaining audience experience. Jeff has received degrees from Eastman School of Music (B.M., '07) and University of Miami (M.M., '11) as well as a certificate in arts entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California.
