Jay Geils needs no introduction to the legion of music fans that made the J. Geils Band one of the leading acts in the history of rock and roll. After a twenty five year career with over 10 million records sold, a Grammy nomination, five gold records, one double platinum record, multiple television and movie appearances, and tours with the Allman Brothers and the Rolling Stones, the band decided to quit at the top of their game with the number one single and number one album on the charts. Free to pursue his first musical loves (classic jazz and blues) and take the period out of his name, Jay Geils Plays Jazz! is Jay's first solo recording. A fan of jazz since he was a child growing up in New Jersey and Manhattan, Jay's father took him to see many of the greatest jazz musicians alive including Louis Armstrong, , Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Steeped in this tradition Jay teamed with jazz guitarist Gerry Beaudoin in 1994 and has come full circle, performing the music he loved as a child. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Jazz), total running time, 58:15 - Jay Geils @ iTunes!
