Last Call

Jeff Healey gained worldwide fame as a stunningly original rock/blues guitarist. His passion, however, was the infectious and joyful music from the classic jazz era-the days when Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke ruled the music world.

These stripped-down Solo, Duo and Trio last sessions could be titled “The Real Jeff Healey.” He is joined by Drew Jurecka (violin) and Ross Wooldridge (piano, clarinet). The material Jeff chose to record for his final jazz/swing disc shows his love for all musical styles-featuring some of his best playing and soulful singing.

From swing guitar instrumentals first recorded by Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti to interpretations of songs originally done by Fats Waller, Sidney Bechet and Hoagy Carmichael. Jeff is featured on both guitar and trumpet with some of the most relaxed vocals of his career.
