Jeff Healey gained worldwide fame as a stunningly original rock/blue guitarist. His passion however, was the infections and joyful music from the classic ear, the days when Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke ruled the music world.

Reconstructing and re-interpreting this music was the reason Jeff formed the Jazz Wizards at the height of his rock and roll career. How brilliantly his band did so is evident on this concert, originally recorded for a television show called Beautiful Noise on a snowy winter's day in January 2006 in Toronto.

Jeff playing trumpet and guitar, leads his excellent band into musical history. As always, he delivers jazz from the past with humor, respect for the tradition and a contemporary attitude.
