”Jazzin” On The Blues” was guitarist Kim Simmonds” fifth solo album release.
Known as the founder and continuing leader of the legendary blues/ rock band Savoy Brown and with a star on the Rock Walk of Fame, Kim Simmonds was recognized globally as one of the world”s finest guitar players.

He is also known as one of the very first musicians from the UK to re-invent the blues in the mid-sixties (post-The Rolling Stones) with music that continues to be an influence today.

Many of his original songs are still played on radio, on TV and in movies. CSI, HBO”s Vinyl, and a recent Jimi Hendix movie biopic, giving life once again to his many songs.

Simmonds” solo efforts have all been acoustic in nature with material ranging between country blues songs and Americana roots music.

On ”Jazzin” On The Blues”, however, Simmonds shows off his acoustic playing with a beautiful mix of jazz, blues and a new age style….twelve instrumentals played with the assurance and mastery of a virtuoso guitar player.

Never has the audience heard Kim in this context and ”Jazzin” On The Blues” promises to be a release that will open the eyes of many people, in a different way, to the guitarist”s magical playing and writing.
