DISCOGRAPHY

Cover for the Album Present Tense by Jay Azzolina



PRESENT TENSE
Jay Azzolina has composed all the music on his project.  The opening tune, “Big Lou” is the first single that will be released to promote this album. I’m struck by the power of his tune.  It could easily be the cinematic soundtrack for some exciting movie.
Another favorite of mine from this album is titled “Viracocha” and swings hard!  This Azzolina album employs more Straight-ahead jazz than fusion.

LOCAL DIALECT​
​The extraordinary CD from the Grammy-nominated guitarist, Jay Azzolina, Local Dialect. The result is the fullest self-portrait Azzolina has committed to disc to date. Accompanied by other jazz greats, such as bassist John Patitucci, organ wizard Larry Goldings, and drummer Greg Hutchinson, Local Dialect is a diverse collection of music with Azzolina's touch present on every track

PAST TENSE
Jay Azzoliona, Jeff Beal, Herbie Mann, Chuck Mangione, and Fred Hersch cast-off fusion demons for an acoustic-accompanied outing. Sure I had my doubts, but as soon as the opener, “Ben Hur, Ben Him,” begins he’s all hollow-body guitar swing. From Wes Montgomery to John Scofield’s sound, Azzolina plots a course to erase any thoughts of fusion.
