Jay Collins - “Come And Go Blues” (Gregg Allman Cover) - A Poem For You Today. Jay is one of my favorite musicians on the planet and an old dear friend. That’s my man $50K right there, so if you see him playing with his Kings County Band in NYC or on stage with Gregg Allman or Levon Helm, say G-BAttle sent you and see what he says. Do your soul a favor and see some real damn music for free with Jay Collins and Ed Cherry in the East Village at Jule’s Bistro, November 25th at 8:30pm.
“Jazz is a huge part of what I learned about music, but it’s just a piece of what I do,” says singer-songwriter, saxophonist, flautist, pianist and bandleader Jay Collins. With his Kings County Band, Collins mixes up blues, Afro-Cuban rhythms and funky New Orleans style into a modern patchwork of root-bound sound, though his fluidity and flights of improvisation as well as his music’s attitude could have only been inspired by jazz.
