Jeff worked privately with Stuart in Canada, England and the United States. Jeff’s performing career included performing in Les Miserables on Broadway and with London’s Royal Philharmonic. After performing as principal double bass of the orchestra with Stuart as his assistant, Stuart said,” You will leave this orchestra, then become Principal Bass of an orchestra like Houston Symphony, stay there for 5 years, then go to Chicago Symphony or Boston Symphony.
