During the 1970s, pianist Jeff Naideau gave up Connecticut's cold climate for the warmth of California, along the way trading in his classical training for a stint in a rock group. The decision led to work with Wang Chung, Quiet Riot, Robbie Kreiger, and Eric Burden. He found a second home in Louisiana when, during a trip to the Crescent City to take in the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, he sat in during a French Quarter gig at Patout's. The establishment's owner so enjoyed the music Naideau made on the piano that he booked Naideau for the rest of his time in New Orleans. Drawn by the city's musical heritage and culture, the pianist relocated once again and drew inspiration from such Big Easy artists as Dr. John, James Booker, and Professor Longhair. It didn't take long for the rest of New Orleans to warm to Naideau. The House of Seafood and Chef Andrew Jaeger booked him into the French Quarter, snagging him before he'd been there more than a few days. While at The House of Seafood, Naideau shared the stage with numerous New Orleans musicians, including drummer Freddy Staehle. 
Shine is the first solo album. Incorporating a variety of musical styles into his repertoire, Jeff Naideau's Shine efficiently floats between straight-ahead blues ("Times Like These"), bayou-influenced R&B ("Sweet Marie"), and familiar strains of American folk-rock("Nothing Inside"). By defying strict categorization, Naideau confidently manages to successfully tread the delicate line between having a broad musical vision and maintaining a singular and unique artistic expression of his own.
Naideau and his band are extremely competent at crafting this sort of piano rock (often injecting it with more than a little blues) ~ Nordic Downloadable Music Site/
