- Montreux Sounds/Eagle Rock Entertainment Ltd.- 5034504904095- 500 grn
The Montreux Jazz Festival was founded in 1967 and has established itself as one of the most prestigious annual music events around the world. This DVD, for the most part, except for a 4-track bonus set recorded at the 1997 festival (24 minutes), was recorded on July 3, 1999 (76 minutes). The festival itself ran from July 2 to July 17, 1999. The CD, with their inherent time constraints, takes up a little more than 78 minutes (12 songs). This item was actually released back on May 3, 2005 as a DVD-only package containing the 1999 festival footage. It was re-released on September 19, 2006 as a DVD + CD Collector’s Edition package containing both 1997 and 1999 festival footage. The bonus 4-song set list from the 1997 festival has George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Also in this set is Jeff’s own “That’s What They Say,” from his debut LP. These two tracks were only featured in this set, and again on the CD. The Jeff Healey Band line-up for the 1997 show was the same as it was for the 1999 show, except for one change. The guitarist used in 1997 was Philip Sayce whereas Pat Rush was used in 1999. Joe Rockman covered bass. Tom Stephen handled drums. Last but not least, Jeff Healey took control of lead guitar and vocals for the most part. Jeff was honored to play the Montreux Jazz Festival, but admits “I’m as happy to sit down in a jam session with my next-door neighbor as I am at a big gala production. I really, truthfully, enjoy a chance to play.” Such a humble and talented musician may never have spoken truer words. This DVD/CD combo has probably been long overdue. Finally it’s here for all to enjoy and witness. Canada's Jeff Healey burst on the scene in the late '80s with a pair of John Hiatt songs, "Angel Eyes" and "Confidence Man," drawing a good deal of attention for his unique laptop electric guitar style. A turn in the Patrick Swayze movie Roadhouse playing a down-and-dirty version of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" also boosted Healey's profile, but although the blind guitarist is obviously a special and gifted player, his style and approach haven't changed one bit since, which is a good thing if you love what he does, but it makes most of his releases after the impressive debut album, See The Light, seem a bit like reruns. This live set recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1999 (two tracks, a cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and the Healey original "That's What They Say," are from a Montreux appearance two years earlier in 1997) likewise features few surprises, although Healey has added a second guitarist (Philip Sayce for the two 1997 cuts and Pat Rush for the 1999 set) to his longtime rhythm section of Joe Rockman on bass and Tom Stephen on drums. Healey's leads on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" amp the song up in all the right places, and he brings out the inherent heaviness in another Beatles tune, John Lennon's "Yer Blues." He breaks a string in the middle of "Roadhouse Blues," which is a bit like watching a NASCAR driver throw a wheel - you don't want to see it happen, but it definitely makes things interesting. A chugging version of Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin' Down" is a clear highlight. In the end, Healey and his band turn out solid, professional blues-rock, the kind of thing you'd expect from a top-notch bar band, and Healey is undeniably exciting as a lead player, but it all seems a bit caught up in a 1980s time warp. It would be nice to hear Healey expand his core sound a little with some soul or funk, say, or maybe go in the other direction and cover the Charley Patton songbook - anything to add some freshness.
