Hello and welcome to the site of jazz guitarist, composer and teacher Jeffrey Hewer.
It's been a minute since I've updated my site, but I'm still here and busy playing gigs with my band and working on new material for my upcoming Trio album - due out in 2026!
I'm also really excited about a new project I'm a part of called DUKE JUNCTION featuring the music of (who else?) Duke Ellington! The band includes some of the best players in the UK: Steve Hanley, Martin Longhawn and Nadim Teimoori We have some gigs happening in early 2026 and look forward to more happening soon!
My latest album FIVE is available on all major streaming services!
I'm super thrilled with how this recording turned out and I'm grateful to be able to share it with everyone!

In the autumn of 2015, Jeffrey crossed the Atlantic from Toronto to attend Leeds College of Music for his Masters in Jazz Performance and Composition. During and after finishing his Masters degree he has been performing in Leeds and around the UK with other members of the local jazz scene. He worked with Stuart McCallum, Mike Walker and Jamie Taylor as part of his studies.
In late 2018 he recorded with his trio at Valley Wood Studio in Leeds. Check out the video page for the video taken during the recording session.
