Jeffrey Siegel is the host of “The Fairer Sax: A
Show about Women and Jazz” on the Women’s Streaming Talk Radio
Network. T he
show can be heard on Saturday evenings at 7:00 pm. EST. Jeff
developed a love of jazz from his father, who worked his way through
school playing bass in various combos in Southern Connecticut in the
Fifties. Jeff has gone from his Dad’s collection of LPs (Dave
Brubeck, Stan Kenton, Bud Shank, Erroll Garner) to CDs and MP3s that
number in the thousands. He hopes to share that enthusiasm with our
listeners.
For his “day job”, Jeff works as Vice President of Estate and
Financial Planning at United Wealth Management Group in Northampton,
Massachusetts. Prior to accepting the position,
Siegel practiced as an attorney for two decades, specializing in
estate planning and administration. He is admitted to practice in
Massachusetts and Connecticut, and to appear before the United
States Tax Court and the United States Supreme Court.
He earned his juris doctor degree from the University Of Connecticut
School Of Law and an LL.M. in taxation from New York University
School of Law. His first position out of law school was in the
private clients group of a “Big Four” accounting firm, performing
tax planning and compliance for highly compensated individuals.
Active in his field, Siegel has served as adjunct faculty, seminar
leader, and author on topics involving areas of estate planning,
specializing in trust administration and taxation. He is a member of
the board of directors of the Pioneer Valley Estate Planning Council
and a member of the Estate Planning Council of Hampden County. He is
currently teaching at American International College in Springfield,
Massachusetts as Adjunct Professor in their Masters of Taxation

Connecticut Commission on the Arts and the Springfield Cultural
Commission. For the past five years he has written a jazz blog and

the Wall Street Journal in 2009 as “a great way for readers to
discover new artists and lesser-known works from popular
performers.”
