it's a cool heat.....

After more than 20 years as a pro, Jerry has recorded an awesome project. What makes this project so special is that Jerry enlisted "Mr. One-Take", Pete Jolly,the West Coast piano jazz giant to lend his talents. Recorded on May 17th & 18th of 2004, sadly these are the last tracks Pete recorded before his passing in November of 2004. But this is far from a "nostalgic" record...Jerry, Bob Freedman and the great musicians on this disc make this music relevant and alive, as artists do every night. We're confident you'll find this cool heat extremely satisfying!
