CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Edgar Winter was born December 28, 1946 in Beaumont, Texas, brother of legendary blues guitarist Johnny Winter. After cutting his teeth in Texas night clubs, Edgar released his debut album Entrance in 1970, quickly followed by classics such as They Only Come Out At Night, (featuring the hits Frankenstein & Free Ride, both of which are re-worked on Jazzin' the Blues), the live record Roadwork (1972), the rock opus Standing On Rock (1981), The Real Deal (1996) and of course Winter Blues (1999). In the eighties Edgar played with various artists, including the likes of Todd Rundgren, Meat Loaf and Tina Turner. As with Winter Blues, Edgar invited high quality guests to record Jazzin` The Blues: guitarists Steve Lukather (Toto) and Hiram Bullock, bass player Will Lee, drummers Gregg Bissonette and Rick Latham and trumpeter Lee Thornburg. Together they present an exciting voyage through the different spheres of jazz and blues, including master songwriting and creative soloing. With Jazzin` The Blues, Edgar Winter shows his ability to combine the past with the present without sounding muddled or pretentious while at the same time delivering exciting elements of new music.

CD ReviewsI Like This CD! The Bobster | Seattle, WA USA | 10/06/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Having seen Edgar Winter this summer at an outdoor festival, I was quite impressed with the chops he has maintained and the high level of musicianship that accompanies his act. He hasn't aged a bit, still sings like he was in his 20's and blows a mean sax and plays a meaner keyboard set up. This album is what I've preferred during my Edgar listening years -- more of the R&B, white trash style. Granted, it's toned down quite a bit with a jazzier influence, but it makes for a very good listening experience. Superb mix, great vocals, and some crazy renditions of his old hits, plus some very tasty new tunes. Probably what stands out the most to me, however, is his organ playing. He's got the keyboards dialed in to sound like a very meaty B-3 and the chord arrangements are sweet indeed. Great guest artists, including his current band line up which are super players. It's not very often you can get a album that not only has great vocals, great rhythm, great arrangements, a wide selection of tunes (fast, slow, funk, blues, soul, smooth, old swing band), a great mix, and great musicians --- all together mixed up in a basket of jazz -- Edgar style." Fair John Yannucci | 03/27/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Three or four stars? I gave this cd 3 stars because it is fair at best.Edgar Winter is a kick-ass RB man / Rocker not jazzman!If Jazzin the Blues was more like Entrance or Jasmine Nightdreams this CD would be 5 stars!But it is not.I still dream of a reunion of the White Trash Band with LaCroix,Smith,Derringer and the rest. It could be a new CD or how about a double "LIVE" CD.I can dream can't I!I have admiration for Edgar Winter and have heard him live on 3 occasions....outstanding sax,keyboards and vocals , but please Edgar go back to what you do best.Kick-ass RB / Rocker!" Been a fan for a long time, but... Doug Robinson | Escondido, CA USA | 12/15/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "...this is the album I've wanted Edgar Winter to make since I heard Entrance and White Trash! Absolutely terrific songwriting--think Mose Alison combined with someone more personal like Joni Mitchell. Clever lyrics don't distract from the [...]-kicking playing. I don't dig the second track, which is a bit smooth for me--but beyond tyat, there isn't a false note on the album."
