ABOUT TONI ESTES
There are few who can rock sequin and fur fanny packs with conviction, but when you’re settled in your skin like Toni Estes, you can pull off just about anything. Big rope chains...a champagne cropped fade, polka dots, and plaid. Yes - if her clothes and accessories are any indication, Estes embodies all that is eclectic. From her YouTube channel and Podcast, Before The Pop, Estes is an open book of love, light, and laughter.
With her down-to-earth nature and inviting approachability, you’d never know Estes has written for the likes of Whitney Houston and sung theme songs for breakout shows like All of Us. The Grammy-nominated sister-mommy friend appeared alongside My Block label mate Erica Campbell in the TVOne show, Meet the Campbells and talked work-wife life on Campbell’s nationally syndicated radio show, Get Up Mornings. Most recently, Toni released her single ‘Stressed Out’, where she sings about the importance of not letting the day-to-day occurrences in life make you miserable.
“I feel like I’ve been around the world, met some super dope people, and I’ve enjoyed a measure of personal success, said Estes, “But I’m still me. Growth isn’t the same as transformation – at the end of the day, you’ve got to stay true to who you are, no matter where this wild ride called life takes you.”
Toni is currently a voting member of the The Recording Academy.

ABOUT JFJO
While navigating 30 years, 16 members, 27 albums, 11 European Tours, and sometimes 300 shows a year in the U.S., Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey has become an institution in modern music. Defined by evolution and change, the band has invented its own language, which defies genre. Beginning in Tulsa, OK in 1994 as a funky octet with MCs and horns, JFJO became an instrumental trio in 1999, a quartet in 2007, and expanded to a 9-piece ensemble for 2011's acclaimed Race Riot Suite. Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2014, the band returned to the trio setting with two critically loved albums one of which, Millions: Live In Denver, sold out its International Record Store Day Release. Now in its 30th year as a band, JFJO returns to the well-known trio lineup of Reed Mathis (Bass & Guitar), Brian Haas (Piano), and Jason Smart (Drums). Known as the OG Jacob Fred Trio, this is the version of the band that took EVERYTHING to the next level. This is the jazz trio that U.S. News and World Report called the "#1 New Star of Jazz in the World."
"JFJO burns with a quiet intensity rather than dramatically explodes. The musicians play with a coiled looseness, improvising with quicksilver yet deliberate force. You can hear the band’s power and inventiveness creatively eroding structure, and the tension produced from that is exhilarating. If JFJO isn’t moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew." – JAZZTIMES
