2018 release. The final album from R&B/jazz/early rock saxophone legend, Big Jay McNeely, recorded earlier this year just months before his passing on September 16th! This is Big Jay's first ever true blues album and he uses it to reflect on his life growing up in Watts ("Way Back In The Old Days"), his many loves ("You Never Miss The Water" and "Once I Had A Woman"), his career ("I'm Still Here" and "Still Got A Long Way To Go" and everything in between! With this album, Big Jay proves he is indeed still here, that his music lives on and is still as vibrant as ever, and that in fact, he will never die!
