Jeff Healey is Canada’s guitar legend—multi-million records sold, blind since the age of 3. He is a musicologist with encyclopedic knowledge of Blues and jazz artists. His side project, the “Jazz Wizards,” who interpret jazz of the 20s and 30s, have brought Healey a new audience. Guest Chris Barber is a British jazz trromboner that coined the phrase “Skiffle Music,” which was the style at the time. PGIACOMO GATES
