Jake Shandling strives to make rhythmically compelling, texturally rich music that tells an honest story.

In addition to composing for and leading his own projects, he has worked with many artists including Slavic Soul Party!, Peter Stan, Sonny Climes, Zach Moses, Joe Warner, Ben Goldberg, Kellye Gray, and Groundation Next Generation. He has performed throughout the USA and Europe at venues including The Jazz Gallery, Jazz at Lincoln Center, NYC Winter Jazzfest, The Brooklyn Museum, Dartmouth College, Stanford University, Bar Next Door, Barbés Brooklyn and National Sawdust, as well as on the musical scores of films including Off In The Far Away Somewhere: Georgia O'Keeffe's Hawaii (2018) and Musicians & Magicians (2018).

Jake is grateful for the means and privilege to connect, express and uplift through music.
