Jeff
Naideau
1954
- 2002
On
the morning of June 17, 2002, Jeff Naideau passed on from
this earthly plane to that "better place" leaving
behind those who loved him. Jeff was one of those rare individuals
who had the ability to share his joyful exuberance and love
of life with everyone he came in contact with. Jeff truly
loved New Orleans, it's music and traditions, and remarked
a number of times that when his time came, he would really
like to have a traditional Jazz Funeral. To that end, a Jazz
Funeral took place on Friday morning, June 21, 2002. The procession
started at Louis Armstrong Park on North Rampart Street, went
up Toulouse to Bourbon Street, and up St. Ann to Jackson Square
where a memorial service was held in front of St. Louis Cathedral.
The service was attended by many of Jeff's friends, fellow
musicians & fans.

Jeff, your life, love and music touched so many of us. You
will live in our hearts forever.

Love Make It Shine"

Classically
trained pianist Jeff Naideau has been a New Orleans Jazz Fest
attendee for many years. During one of his visits here,he was
invited to sit in with the band playing at Patout's in the French
Quarter. The owner later contacted Jeff and asked him to play
at Patout's for the remainder of his stay in New Orleans. The
rest, as they say, is history, and Jeff now lives and works
full time playing his music in the Big Easy. A long time fan
of New Orleans Jazz, Blues and R&B piano styles, Jeff has
studied and attempted to master the musical methods of Professor
Longhair, Eddie Bo, James Booker and Dr. John.
