Review of "Jay Geils Plays Jazz!"
|
By: John Sekerka
cary title huh? Turns out Jay Geils, the long standing guitarist for Peter Wolf's
faux Stones outfit, can leave his standard blues riffs behind and strum like Joe
Pass. Geils invites like minded pals like Crispin Cioe and Jerry Miller along to
run through a batch of Ellington, Goodman and Hodges standards. The playing is
surprisingly nimble and restrained, paying proper homage as tradition requires.
It's a nice record, no more, no less.
