Hello Fellow Babies!
Welcome to the latest update of recent happenings here at JeffHealey.com! It’s been a couple of months since our last catch-up so we’ve got a fair amount of ground to cover…
But before we get started, we just wanted to mention that we’re coming up on a year since we relaunched the site and we are so happy to have you all along for the ride!
We’ve had some great Guest Blogs from Jeff’s friends and colleagues, and some fantastic stories from you the fans. (and although the Fan Scrapbook has been a bit quiet of late, we’d like to invite you all again to send in your stories and pics if you got ’em. *At least* 150 words would be great, but you can go as long as you like…)
Our official Facebook page (started last July in advance of the relaunch) is booming and it looks like we’ll crack *40,000* fans before the year is done! Thanks guys!
Keep your eyes peeled kids, we have some exciting things planned here over the next couple of months and for 2014 too, and we wanted to thank you all again for the tremendous support you’ve shown us! You rock!

In the ‘Video Gallery: Performances: Jazz‘ section of the site we added a swinging performance of ‘Georgia Grind‘ – Jeff sitting in with his pals, the Peruna Jazzmen, live in July of 2000…
We posted a couple of new entries to our Essential Jeff Healey series:
The incredible Jimmy Rogers session, ‘Blow Wind Blow‘; and the fantastic Jazz Wizards concert DVD, ‘Beautiful Noise‘.
A very cool Texas jam with legendary guitarist, Stanley Jordan; A beautiful live version of the Dylan track ‘When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky‘ featuring the short-lived expanded JHB line-up; An incredible recently surfaced video of a complete live JHB show from the Canyon Club in Dallas;
First, the man himself, the inimitable Danko Jones shared a great story with us about the jam that almost was; and our good friend, Powder Blues founder, Tom Lavin dropped in to share a cool little memory with all of you!

I loved the Jazz that was played in the video wow. What a treat to hear that I would like to know if a DVD exists with any of Jeff’s Jazz on it and where could I get it. Thankyou
As a matter of fact, there is! …and was luck would have it, we posted about it just last week 🙂 … https://jeffhealey.com/2013/10/essential-jeff-healey-beautiful-noise/ ~Rog
