Cool and swinging... again

All those who relished the two outstanding albums recorded by Duke Robillard & Herb Ellis (“Conversations In Swing Guitar”, 1999, & “More Conversations In Swing Guitar”, 2003) (1) will certainly also appreciate the two New Guitar Summit  releases. Both projects have a lot in common : top class guitarists and jazz groove and swing.

This time we have a trio : still basking in his recent successful “Conversations...” with Ellis, multi-style musician Duke Robillard is aboard this new adventure next to jazz guitarist Gerry Beaudoin, and the less expected atypical ex-rocker Jay Geils who converted to jazz after leaving his band, the famous J. Geils Band, in 1985 after a 15-year stretch of R'n'B-influenced blues rock and about as many studio and live albums.
