About Me |

Bio: Veteran rockabilly guitarist Danny B. Harvey and jazz/blues vocalist Marie MacGillis formed Jazzabilly Blues in 2005. Harvey, who’d recently helmed rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson’s acclaimed comeback effort I Remember Elvis, fused his trademark vintage licks with MacGillis’s affection for the Great American Songbook to create a unique stylistic hybrid. The results are much like the sort of atmospheric Americana you’d expect to find on a David Lynch soundtrack. But where Lynch music tends to be wispy and narcotic, Jazzabilly Blues is sultry and earthy, powered by MacGillis’s throaty purr. Equally comfortable working steamy midtempo grooves or torchy ballads, MacGillis and Jazzabilly Blues flavor their blend of rearranged standards and originals with bits of rockabilly, Western swing, honky tonk, hot ‘30s jazz, slow-burning blues, and small-combo swing. With support by pianist Don Randi (a longtime L.A. jazz mainstay), violinist Paloma Udovic, and the rock-solid rhythm section of bassist Oliver Steinberg and drummer David Raven, Jazzabilly Blues draws from the past to stake out fresh new territory, proving their inspirations are anything but creatively exhausted. -Steve Huey aka "Hollywood Steve" AMG critic/actor Contact/Booking: booking at jazzabillyblues dot com News: This band is on hiatus until further notice. We're all just so busy and working on other things. We love talking to you and hearing your stories from all around the world. Our album released in 2007 by Cleopatra Records is still available on ITunes. The record label designed the marketing scheme after albums that came out in the early '60s by using a famous name to promote an unknown. Thus, it's half a Billie Holiday album and the old tracks are all completely remastered. The other half is our music and we hope you enjoy it. Jazzabilly Blues may reunite to finish a whole album one of these days; we don't believe in closing the doors. Many thanks! Click below and get the entire album on Itunes! ..
