Jason Scheff
Jason Scheff is an American bassist, singer and songwriter. Since 1985, he has been the bassist and tenor lead vocalist for the legendary band Chicago. He is the oldest son of well-known session bassist Jerry Scheff, who toured for several years with Elvis Presley.
Scheff started his professional musical career in 1976 as a member of his mother's band, "The Roberts Connection" in San Diego, CA.
At age 23, Jason joined Chicago in mid-1985 when Peter Cetera left to pursue a solo career. He debuted on lead vocals on their 1986 hit single “Will You Still Love Me?” Besides performing the band’s classic material, he has composed several original songs for the band, including their 1989 Top 5 single “What Kind of Man Would I Be?”
In 2005, Scheff and Chicago founding member Robert Lamm convinced the band to record Chicago XXX. Scheff co-wrote seven of the 12 songs on the project. Jason remains active and looks forward to sharing many of his creative ventures here at Blue Infinity Music.
