Jeff Golub (April 15, 1955 – January 1, 2015) was an American jazz guitarist who had a solo career and who led the band Avenue Blue. He worked as a sideman for a number of rock and pop musicians. He was arguably best known for his work with Rod Stewart.

Golub's blend of jazz, R&B and pop has epitomized the tougher, grittier, more earthy side of smooth jazz-in fact, his albums have as much to do with soul-jazz as they do with smooth jazz-and on Soul Sessions, he cherishes all things funky.
