Ok....

Who else knew Jeff Healey, of the Jeff Healey Band, played jazz guitar? And jazz trumpet?



As well known as he is for blues rock, I had never had the opportunity to know that he leapt back to an early love of Jazz in his later years.

I'm blown away. :-)

Album Review: Dave Brubeck's Quiet As The Moon


For anybody that has an appreciation for flute in the jazz genre, I recently stumbled on an album, where Bobby Militello is featured heavily with Dave Brubeck, called Quiet As The Moon. It is available on Amazon both CD and MP3 download. Militello also lends his chops on sax, and Dave's son Matthew adds a haunting cello to the mix on a couple other tracks.

And what better than Dave and Bobby doing their interpretation of Guaraldi's Linus and Lucy?

Very pretty album, very Dave, and just all around awesome.
