Jason Klobnak Music

Hi, my name is Jason Klobnak and I’m a jazz musician, author, and educator that helps musicians find a better way to improvise.

MY MUSIC

Whether you are looking for straight-ahead jazz or hip-hop influenced fusion, this is what you get with our bands:

Live Experience

All of the bands that I perform in are incredible live experiences. Many of the J’s Ruckus albums were recorded live!

100% Independent

I’m not run by a record label, managers, or other corporate influence. This allows me to create music and content for YOU

Original Music​

Cover bands flood the local scene. No cover tunes here…we do ALL original music that is meant to uplift your moment

What They’re Saying

Don’t take my word for it.

Here are some reviews from press, students, and customers:

Jazz Etudes

Learning Jazz Improvisation doesn’t have to be hard. One of my recommended ways beyond my Targeting principles is to learn from etudes.

Grab an Album​

Many artists struggle to make a living solely from streaming revenue and social media exposure.

As much as we enjoy sharing our favorite artist’s content and streaming their music, it’s important to remember that these actions don’t always translate into enough financial support for them to continue creating the content we love. Artists invest significant amounts of time, energy, and money into their work, and they need our support to sustain their careers and continue producing great content.

One of the best ways to support an artist and show them that we value their work is by purchasing their merchandise. By buying an artist’s album, t-shirt, or other merchandise, we’re not only getting a tangible reminder of our favorite music, but we’re also providing direct financial support to the artist. This support can help them cover expenses like studio time, touring costs, and equipment upgrades, all of which are essential for their continued success.

So be sure to stop by the shop and grab an album!
