It's Australian for Jerry. I often wonder how people of other cultures will pronounce it, but it rhymes with pleasure ... The recordings are made with a diverse collection of international artists from a variety of genres, through rock, folk, jazz and techno

Not often enough without a fixed live band ..
I once played a 'warm up the seat' performance for Bert Jansch of 'Pentangle' at the Troubadour. With the Peacemakers in 1997 we did a lot of local festivals and gigs including the Troubadour Cafe, Mean Fiddler, and 2 succesful live webcasts from the 12 Bar Club in central London.

In Cyberspace, Everybody can be a Superstar !!

Of Course I Would !! When I approach the music 'industry' they simply don't know what to do with the 'product' as there isn't a ready made bag for *unique* or *original*. But I get plenty of Indie Radio Play around the world ..

We actually recorded the CD in a small country cottage on my friend Basil's PC, using CoolEditPro software and a selection of hand-picked, gifted musical friends with virtually no studio costs. Other than raw materials, guitar strings, food and wine for the table and gas for the car .. and we had a lot of fun making it .. That was also part of the concept.
Since 'jeza wined up' was released in 1999, six of the twelve tracks have reached No#1 in completely different genre charts, on different websites, and in different countries, including Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Africa, and Jeza's *unique* music continues to cross international boundaries as easily as it does genres. Now featuring on 50 different websites from Argentina to Korea, and receiving airplay on over 25 global radio stations.

Beatles, Paul Simon, Sting, Terry Reid, Marley, Hendrix, Clapton, 10cc, U2, CSN&Y, Gong, Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel, Bill Withers, Cat Stevens, Traffic, Joni Mitchell, Jon Martyn, Lowell George, Blondie, Bowie, Bjork, Bolan, The Beachboys, blimey .. you tell me .. did I nearly forget Van and Steely Dan?

My favourite spot for an album cover location - Photos by Roberto Steinberger - was one used by a certain Liverpudlian beat combo once before, but you're looking for the crossing in the background.. I claimed the crossing across the road ... and the white building is the EMI sudios where 'Abbey Road' and 'Sgt peppers' were recorded. I had this very pleasant thought in mind every time I passed by on the way to recording sessions.

Sorry not for the headbangers >> Jeza: Songwriting, rhythm guitar, vocals, djembe, bongos, Thai drum, Turkish drum, floor tom, rainstick, Indian bells, wood chimes, love triangle and assorted shakers - Luciano Albo - bass. John Hoare - lead guitar. Caroline Hoare - backing vocals. Gwyo Zepix - keyboards. Robin Gillan - banjo, fiddle, blues harmonica. Basil Brooks - production, flute, EMS synthi, tea, pot and sympathy. Recorded on a Pentium PC using CoolEditPro

in a way, it's a concept album about ironies and crossovers.

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. The MyT - England
