Synopsis

Amazon.com

Long before Jeff Healey burst onto the '80s blues-rock scene with an unorthodox lap-steel-like approach to conventional guitar and a flair for radio-friendly pop songs like "See the Light" and "Angel Eyes," he had a deep jones for 1920s and '30s jazz. His first major release in that vein, a live recording with his eight-piece Wizards and British jazz revivalist/trombonist Chris Barber as his guest, takes Louis Armstrong's historic Hot Five recordings and Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club band as its swinging twin axis of influences. Sure, the results aren't groundbreaking, yet they're authentic and fun, thanks to spirited performances and a selection of mostly playful uptempo chestnuts, including "Sing You Sinners," Georgia Tom Dorsey's suggestive title track, and Bessie Smith's "Keep It to Yourself." Barber's trombone solos are hale and raucous, but Healey's his own ringer, fretting elegant, classic guitar lines and pulling boisterous double duty on ebulliently squawking trumpet. --Ted Drozdowski

CD Reviews

Fun album

J. Whitted | Oregon, USA | 09/08/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I picked this up because it was listed as Jazz and really didn't put two and two together on Jeff. Personally I did not like his previous albums but love this one.

You can tell that this is his passion and I hope that he does more. I will buy them.

If you like good traditional 20's - 30's jazz, you will like this album.

I liked the trombone player, I am one myself, and it is hard to find one that is good. This is the music for a trombone player and lover."

Glad to have Jeff back

"I have been a fan of Jeff Healey since the 80's. I am pleased that his "new" venture into Jazz and Blues finally got an album available in the US. Jeff is great on the trumpet, his guitar (as always) is fantastic, and his vocals are enjoyable. While I am not a fan of the trombone the fiddler with the Jazz Wizards was a surprise and is a lot of fun. If you are a Jeff Healey fan and like Jazz and Blues I would recommend adding this to your collection."
