Jim Alfredson is the product of a musically gifted family. He was encouraged by his father, a professional musician, to pursue music as a child. Alfredson fondly recalls playing with the drawbars on his father&rsquo;s Hammond&reg; B3, when he was just a little tiny tyke, at the tender age of four.
The music prodigy started writing songs at the age of 8 on a Yamaha&reg; organ. The call of the Hammond&reg; continued beckoning him and by age 16 he was enthralled with the Hammond&reg; and learned everything he possibly could about the precision instrument. Today, he is a Hammond&reg; endorsed artist!
Alfredson has enjoyed steady work professionally. For a decade, he was the musical director and organist for the award-winning band, Root Doctor, and produced 3 albums for the group.
In the year 2000, Jim Afredson founded the jazz group organissimo, where he released 5 albums, as well as a DVD. He has worked for numerous professional stage acts around the United States and excels in jazz and blues. 
Alfredson is a highly sought after best-selling producer, arranger, engineer, vocalist and songwriter.
His contributions to &ldquo;What, Me Worry?&rdquo; will astound the listener!
