Jay Geils Plays Jazz!
1. Wholly Cats (4:06) After being part of the New Guitar Summit, Jay Geils has made his first solo album. With a recording career that stretches back three-and-a-half decades to the first J. Geils Band album, the guitarist has matured into a solid player, steeped in bebop, jump blues and even western swing. Joined by a varied cast of like-minded players, this set is a wonderful overview of the music that's long been championed by Rhode Island mainstays Scott Hamilton and Roomful of Blues (former members of which appear here). Covering everyone from Benny Goodman to Roland Kirk, this is fine ensemble playing. Geils and his soloing compatriots take their turns in the spotlight with flash-free, thoughtful improvisations throughout. --David Greenberger

This is the single coolest CD I've bought in a long time. J. Geils Band has always been one of my favorites but if it didn't say it on the cover, I'd argue that this isn't the same guy. The difference here is a maturity and polish that...
