DJ Jazzy Jeff (born Jeffrey A. Townes January 22, 1965) is an American hip-hop DJ and turntablist best known for his early career with Will Smith as half of "DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince."

Together, the duo had several platinum-selling albums and singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s. When Smith branched out into television with the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Jazzy Jeff played the popular recurring character Jazz, whose trademark was to be physically kicked out of the house.
