Jeff Healey- LAST CALL- CD- 2010- Stony Plain Recording Co. Ltd.- 772532133524- 400 grn
The first two posthumous Jeff Healey albums, Mess Of Blues (2008) and Songs From The Road (2009), focused on his blues-rock guitar playing, the basis of his renown, even though he had spent much of the last decade of his life performing and recording in the early jazz styles of the first three decades of the 20th century, and often playing the trumpet. LAST CALL, a studio recording drawn from sessions held in February 2007, returns to the jazz format of previous albums Among Friends, Adventures In Jazzland, and It's Tight Like That. But instead of playing with his band the Jazz Wizards, Healey is accompanied by only two fellow musicians, pianist/clarinetist Ross Wooldridge of that group, and violinist Drew Jurecka. That is, they accompany him when he has any accompaniment at all. Sometimes, Healey is alone, or rather, he is the only musician, even if there are multiple instruments. The closing track, "Some Of These Days," features two guitars, trumpet, and vocals, but they're all Healey, overdubbing himself. Annotator Colin Bray, another member of the Jazz Wizards, attests to Healey's love of early jazz, as demonstrated by his extensive collection of 78 rpm records, and, like its predecessors in this vein, LAST CALL clearly is a labor of love by an aficionado intent on replicating the sound of a musical style he reveres. Nor is it without accomplishment. When Healey and Jurecka dig into the guitar/violin duet "The Wildcat," they sound for all the world like Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, which is exactly what they are aiming for. Healey is a less impressive trumpet player, although he manages to approximate the ‘20s style he's after. He is also an adequate vocalist, but not really a stylist capable of putting his own stamp on the songs of, say, Hoagy Carmichael ("Hong Kong Blues"), or Bing Crosby ("Pennies From Heaven"). So, like Healey's other jazz albums, LAST CALL is something more than a busman's holiday, but something less than a major artistic statement. 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. These stripped down Solo, Duo and Trio last sessions could be titled ''The Real Jeff Healey.'' The material Jeff chose to record for his final jazz/swing disc shows his love for all musical styles. This was Jeff's favorite kind of music, and these recordings were a somewhat secretive project of his. He played trumpet and guitar in addition to singing vocals, and dubbed over himself in a way that he couldn't do in a live performance. The effect is beautiful. If you are only a fan of Jeff's early rock music, you won't like this album, but if you are appreciative of his beloved Jazz Wizards, this is definitely your style. The bonus video, recorded just 8 months or so prior to his death, is a wonderful addition. Plagued with cancer, he still sounded great, and the enjoyment on his face was beautiful. Awesome CD.
