JEZA WINED UP - 1999
Crossover jazz rock pop - infectious world rhythms,
solid bass grooves, fluid guitars and sweet vocals
The 'wined up' CD was recorded on a shoe-string budget during 1999, with
old chum and techno producer Basil Brooks from 'ZORCH', in rural Surrey
UK
Wined Up - the Line Up
Luciano Albo had to leave UK for his home Brazil at the beginning of the
year. He recorded the bass-lines to a metronome for the entire 12 songs
during two marathon recording sessions, before Jeza overdubbed a single
note ..
John and Caroline Hoare of 'The Haunting AD' have made valuable contributions
to many recordings and continue to perform live with Jeza

Lead guitar and BeeVees

The CD was recorded on home computers using CoolEditPro, at a total cost
of around £200, which included petrol, food on the table and basic
resources - © Thorn Cottage Industries Hand Made in UK - 1999
The cover photo was shot by Brazilian photo-journalist Roberto Steinberger,
just off Abbey Road, London. On the crossing across the road from the
more famous crossing, once crossed by the Beatles
I happened to pass this location (EMI recording studios) on the way to
recording sessions. The inspiration was to re-make Sargeant Peppers ..
but to do it 'My Way', with legs crossed and guitar slung upside-down
and backwards - with the Beatles influence placed firmly in my background.

CM on 'JEZA WINED
UP'
12 Original Songs
In the world of independent music, Jeza's 'Wined Up' has become a true
classic since its release in 1999. Jeza is the kind of artist who creates
his own genre, making music as he hears it and letting the rest of the world
figure out how to categorize it. His individuality is underscored by the
consistent high quality of these recordings and performances, combined with
his undeniably soulful vocals and wide-ranging lyrics
These are songs that are every bit as good as anything ever written by
people like Eric Clapton or Bill Withers or Tracy Chapman. 'Wined Up' makes
an outstanding addition to any music-lovers collection!
MAN IN THE MIRROR
- 2003
Jeza's 'Man in the Mirror' is a success on many
levels. This is an album that will satisfy the hunger of open-minded music
fans yearning for a rich stew in a world of musical junk food and imitation
flavors. - C M
If 'wined up' was a collection of singles, then 'Man in the Mirror' is
about 'album tracks'. Longer songs, more maturity, introspective and self-indulgent,
but without losing any of the warmth and charm of the previous album
An altogether more ambitious project. Flying solo now without the aid
of a producer or bass player, Jeza wears these new hats with consumate
ease. As his reputation grew over the internet, fellow musicians around
the globe were eager collaborators. Swapping digital files across oceans
to create a new kind of world-music and shared common language.
Southern Logic
It's a Blues Evolution
Songwriting and recording with both Neal Allen of 'SouthernLogic' in USA
and Lord Bygon in Italy, Anthony Ruocco in New York, Bud Bennett from Virginia,
Californian Country singer Hunter Payne and long-term collaborator DJ Lazer
flew in from Israel. CM from New Jersey on flugalhorns. Not One but Four
brand new recordings with flautist Roberto Luz in Guatemala raised the musical
platform to soaring heights.
12 brand new releases plus 3 bonus archive recordings.
Roberto Luz - Guatemala
Our Man in the Jungle
Genres include latin, celtic-hip-hop, jazz, blues, dub, drum'n'bass,
storyville rock and reggae ... to name but a few
Jeza works with a large number of collaborators, both locally and globally.
