Jason Randolph Scheff (born April 16, 1962 in San Diego, California) is an American bassist, singer and songwriter. 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 1982 as a member of a Los Angeles based rock band named Keane (not to be confused with the British band of the same name).
At age 23, he joined the band Chicago in mid-1985 when Peter Cetera left to pursue a solo career. His ability to closely duplicate Cetera's vocal parts on Chicago hits allowed the band to continue its touring/recording efforts without a hitch. Besides performing the band's classic material, Scheff has composed several original songs for the band, including their 1989 Top 10 single "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" In 2004 and 2005, Scheff and Chicago founding member Robert Lamm convinced the band to record a new album/CD tentatively titled Chicago XXX (30). Scheff also enlisted Rascal Flatts vocalist/bassist Jay DeMarcus to serve as producer for the new album, due out in the spring of 2006.
Scheff has also enjoyed some limited success as a solo artist, releasing a CD entitled Chauncy in 1996, as well as several duets released only in Japan.
