Henry Gray - About the CD Blues - Won't Let Me Take My Rest (2723 words)
Gray’s masterful piano, forceful vocals and irrepressible personality may be witnessed on his first DVD release, recorded in performance at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Club in Paris on March 27, 2003.
Gray’s keyboard and vocals are front and center from start to finish, focusing full attention on the robust 79-year-old bandleader as he powers his way through a set of blues favorites associated with his peers and throws in some novelties along the way.
Gray has now put together a solid band with the Cats, with harmonica ace Brian Bruce and fine guitarist Paul Sinegal sharing solo duties, but Gray's rambling piano work and his blue honk of a singing voice are the selling points of Watch Yourself.
