"Jeza Wined Up": independent CD release
Thorn Cottage Industries - 1999
Available at cdbaby.com/jeza
CROSSOVER JAZZ / ROCK / POP / SOUL
"From start to finish the music of Jeza wanders musically and
instrumentally thru a gauntlet of stylings and feels..."
-recorded by an international cast of players who "get it" when it comes to helping Jeza's songs come to life.
"Jeza has his own distinct vocal style and a very cool sense of phrasing that he 'signs' each of his songs with. There is an international feel and sound to his music that moves freely across all borders..."
-Bronson Hermuth
"To me this is an example of why the record industry is so dumb. These tracks are professional in every sense, catchy without being overly commercial, and well written without being over complicated. I myself would listen over and over, but presuming Jeza isn't on a record label, it's criminal. It's all about who you know, and not what you do, because if it were the latter, Jeza would be a household name by now ..."
