LOCAL DIALECT (2007)

Just released, the extraordinary new 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.

LIVE AT ONE STATION PLAZA (2002)

A swinging but funky disk of seven original Azzolina tunes performed at one of the top jazz haunts north of New York City featuring electic guitar, B-3 organ and drums.

PAST TENSE (2001)

A superbly swinging and highly evocative acoustic jazz offering that also prominently features the immense talents of tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist John Patitucci, drummer Adam Nussbaum and pianist Charles Blenzig. Ironically titled Past Tense, it marks a kind of rebirth for the gifted guitarist. In this new life, the former fusioneer has been born again as a bonafide jazzbo.
