"Wistful, with just the smallest tinge of regret. Jeza moves with the masters here, in musicianship, interpretation and lyrical quality. . .This is the way Van used to do it." Patti Sterling

Driving r&b song with psychedelic slide guitar ~ "Typical of Jeza's material; A relentlessly cool groove drives the song from front to back; solid playing by talented people, and a smoky vocal style" Gods of Music

Band/artist history
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. 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.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not often enough without a fixed live band ..
I once played a 'warm up the seat' performance for 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.

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 CoolEditProin a way, it's a concept album about ironies and crossovers.Anything else?
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.Contact

Indeed Jeza - an amazing re-connection across the miles and the years thanks to the incredible internet... ! Meigan Fayre being the link - what mysteries lie in that! I hope we can catch up again face-to-face in the same time and place before too long... Charles

Hey man, we dig your tune "One Fine Night." Great vibe and cool vocals!
Rock on, Uncle Shaker band
Wow! Shucks, we'll even say that backwards, !woW. You are wonderfully all over the map giving a unique, alternative, feel to every genre. Great production! Unfortunately for all radio IS box. Indies are our best options.
