Healey, who here sings and plays trumpet (as he did on his other jazz outings), is accompanied by only two other musicians, clarinetist and pianist Ross Wooldridge and violinist Drew Jurecka. The result is a stripped-down, cozy affair. Healey\u2019s vocals on standards such as \u201cAutumn in New York,\u201d \u201cDeep Purple\u201d and \u201cLaura\u201d may not approach the sophistication of, say, Michael Bubl\u00e9, and he\u2019s no Miles on trumpet, but he sings and plays from the heart and exhibits an innate understanding of the form. The instrumentals, including \u201cGuitar Duet Stomp\u201d (on which Healey jams knowingly with his overdubbed self) and the Django-esque fiddle workout \u201cThe Wildcat\u201d are never less than virtuosic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013Jeff Tamarkin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JEFF HEALEY Last Call [Stony Plain] Although he was known primarily for his scorching electric blues-rock guitar work, the late Jeff Healey was also a passionate lover of early 20th-century jazz.
