The Jay Geils All-Star Quintet: From Blues to BeBop
​
4-22-2016

Jay Geils needs no introduction around these parts. Original founder and lead guitarist of the J. Geils Band, he is also a producer, writer, singer, sports car restoration expert and rockin' master of the blues. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee, Jay wrote several of the classic hits for the J. Geils band and is distinguished by his soulful approach to the blues. In 1985, after many albums and mega-hits, the band broke up.

In 1992, Jay joined his old bandmate Richard "Magic Dick" Salwitz to form "Bluestime," which released two records: the self-titled Bluestime (1994) and Little Car Blues (1996) on Rounder Records.

This new All-Star lineup will be Jay's first new band since BluesTime, 25 years ago. The All-Stars are: Billy Novickon horns, Jesse Williams on bass, Marty Richards on drums, Bruce Bears on keyboards, special guest vocals by Tennie Komar and of course Jay on guitar.
