   About Jerry Jennings Band
Jerry Jennings has an energy on the guitar that is reminiscent of many of the old school blues-rockers-- Clapton, Beck, Farner, and Gilmore-- while in the chordal realm, he reaches for the less traveled colors. While borrowing compositional elements from Chic Corea or maybe Weather Report, he goes for the more concise arrangements of a typical pop tune format, more like a Steely Dan song. “My attention span is short. I have somewhat of a pop mentality and admire an ability to distill many jazzy flavors into a simple verse-chorus-bridge format.”

On the latest album Shortcut to the Center (produced by rock legend Ronnie Montrose), Jerry has styles that range from classic fusion, to reggae, to melodic rock, and to a style that can only be called ‘dan’. Players on the album are Northern California’s finest. Bruce Spencer, regarded by many as Sacramento’s top call drummer, plays with an amazing feel on this album. Marty Holland, who has played bass with a huge list of people including Lydia Pence of Cold Blood, Bill Kreutzman of the Grateful Dead, Dave Garibaldi and Lenny Williams of Tower of Power, and currently plays with the Jerry Garcia Band. ..s, Scott Reams who is everyone’s go-to guy in the Sacramento area for great sax or keyboard tracks in the vein of rock, pop, jazz or funk.

"…The Jerry Jennings Band was also quite enjoyable…This band played a nice mix of jazz-influenced rock with elements and influences ranging from Steely Dan, Pat Metheny, Weather Report, to more prog rock stuff like Gentle Giant, Zappa and Happy the Man." - Progressive Ears

“Make that “Jammin” Jerry Jennings! One of the coolest local releases I’ve come across yet. Jerry is a great guitarist with an incredible feel and excellent tone. This recording ventures into the rock/fusion territory with some great performances all the way around a la Jeff Beck. Jennings has a songwriting style that speaks to the listener without words, only soundscapes of wonderful imagery that take you to a kool world…It’s a fresh album with a different turn at every track…” --Sac This Week

“With his latest release Shortcut to the Center, Jerry Jennings has proven that he is the heir apparent to such guitar legends as Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. While Jennings is technically proficient on his instrument, he clearly understands that tone and feel count for everything. Thankfully, this is not another guitar CD that is wall to wall shredding and noodling, but instead features remarkably melodic performances that touch the heart and soul of the listener…The production duties were handled by guitarist Ronnie Montrose (who also contributed burning guitar trade-offs with Jerry on “One Blue Lady”). Highly recommended!” --Tim Morse, Music News Network

Hadn't thought about it due to not having any details of the gig. I can get my kit up and down usually in about 5-10mins. Don't know what the situation is I'll find out more tonight I think. C

I can't remember...I thought it might have been outback at that one disco we used to hang out at....it might have been the orange sunshine tour.  Did we have T-shirts with a band name on the back?  It looks like you have something printed on the back of your black T.

Hey Jerry, I found Garland. His site is under construction. He is on my front page for you to find.. Haven't been on my space lately. I hope to get back to the states this Christmas, I really miss the US. Yeah, I found Rick Parham last week, and a few other long last friends. Did you know Steve Guinn. He was in the El Mira Band back in the 70s. He plays a mean sax and doubles on guitar. Good friend of mine. If anyone knows his where abouts let me know. oh yeah thanks for keeping me in the circle Jerry. Glen
