He played with Robert Plant and Black Sabbath!- The Story of Jezz Woodroffe!

[@DavidMorley]

Thanks for giving Jezz the credit he deserves!

[@jasonstclair1329]

“Through with the two step” one of my favorite from Plants early solo career!!!

[@ministerofdarkness]

Technical Ecstasy is my favorite Black Sabbath album. So underrated! Jezz's work with Plant is such an integral part to his songs. PLAY LOUD!

[@michaelmouse4024]

TE is a great album - Back St Kids, Rock & Roll Dr and Dirty Women are some of the best Sabbath tracks. I love Sabotage too

[@kocinski8734]

My fav Sab album too. Iommi's two greatest ever guitar solos in 'You won't change me', 'Dirty women' kicking in (for the second time) at 3'15" ... and brilliant cover art.

[@wwsoulrockerstudio]

Thanks!

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Thank you very much for watching! I really appreciate you super chat. This is a very special episode that was quite fun to edit! Long live Jezz!

[@kennethhacker3014]

My wedding song was Robert plant covering sea of love..such a great song and one of his better covers..great presentation brother!!!

[@davidpaterson3443]

Fascinating insight into a unsung hero of Plant's early solo career. Will definitely check out his own solo works.... It was very poignant to see the Joe Louis Arena in it's glory, then seeing it half demolished. Would love to see an episode of the famous ( and not so famous) places/Arenas Zep played and what became of them, or if they are still in use, even all the Tour over Europe venues....

[@crungefactory]

The photos of them playing at the greenlake aquatheater in Seattle 1969 are outstanding...

[@LoyalOpposition]

Joe Louis Arena was the place.

[@TheFunkybert]

Oh man.. this pure gold . Jezz deserves as much acknowledgment as you are giving.. the Water album would be a fantastic release!

[@zeppearl]

Fantastic feature on a unsung hero in Plant's band. I did not know all the work he did with Sabbath only just some. Jezz was a great addition to the Plant band and tours. I would like to find the solo albums. Thanks JCM……oh BTW I posted this to Jezz FB page 😊

[@ahankararockband]

Great stuff, thank you ❤️

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the fact you discovered THIS episode, it wasn't that popular when it came out. Jezz deserves to be praised :)

[@bigdunc1313]

Thru with the 2 step keyboards have always been amazing. Thanks for the video. Oh and that guitar solo as well.

Wow interesting and really cool episode! I watched it during my lunch break and it was very enjoyable, thank you Jose 😊

[@PaulLoughrin]

Thanks Jose! Happy New Year!

[@540chevhell9]

It would be great to know where Jezz is. I do hope he is well. His synth work on Big Log and In the Mood, arguably Robert's two biggest selling and most famous solo career singles was absolutely beyond outstanding. His work really stood out in those two songs as much as Robert's voice or Phil's drums and were not just some sort of secondary 'back ground' also ran. Jezz if you read this your work on Robert's albums was absolutely next level and was critical to defining Robert's sound at that time.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Cheers for Jezz' talents, he really took Robert's material to great extents of depth and synthesizer magic. And his stuff with Sabbath is brilliant too! Thanks for watching this one!

[@christiancazabonne]

You can see him in the "In the mood' video clip 😀

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

YEAH!!! he's there too! The great Jezz!

[@christiancazabonne]

@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I liked so much that video and Burning in one side video too, I remember that I recorded both in Betamax in that time from the Venezuelan television and watched it like 1000 times 😁 Now you have both videos here in KZbin

[@ultraviolet9863]

good job on letting folks know about him

[@the5th2000]

Great stuff, thanks. Didn't know about this guy. I'm downloading those under the sea mp3s. Thanks for hooking me up!

[@DAGDRUM53]

Another great topic!

[@howardduck2851]

If Pictures At Eleven was Robby Blunt’s big coming out, then Principle Of Moments must have been so for Jezz Woodroffe. In The Mood surely stands as Woodfoffe’s pinnacle in 1980s pop radio. (Ironically, “I’m in the mood for a melody” actually features minimal vocal melody)

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

I agree with you 100% . In The Mood is an 80s Anthem.

[@davemyers3960]

This is fascinating! Great job!!

[@christiancazabonne]

Suena muy bien su primer disco como solista, lo voy a buscar!

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Hey Christian! Me alegra vieras este episodio. Ha sido de mis favoritos de editar e investigar. El de 1980 está en discogs, recomiendo el de 1981 comprarlo en Trunk Records, el link está en la descripción. Jezz es tremendo músico! Me dio risa pensar con Robert nadie en esa primera banda fue casualidad!!!!

[@christiancazabonne]

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Es que con todo y que Robert Plant sacó luego muy buenos discos, salvo el "Shaken 'n' Stirred" que para mí es el "Menos bueno" pues sus primeros 2 discos tenían una magia inigualable, sobretodo el primero, yo tengo el CD original y hasta le he dado vuelta para ver si hay algo más 🤣🤣 Y el video clip de Burning Down One Side cuando salió en la época yo lo grabé en Betamax y lo vi un millón de veces 🤣🤣 Bueno y Jezz es uno de ésos músicos quien decidió más que todo quedarse en las sombras, en la producción, en el studio, leí que luego se dedicó a hacer música de vídeo juegos, me recuerda al caso de Trevor Rabin, guitarrista de Yes en los 80 y a principios de los 90 quien prefirió luego quedarse en casa y hacer música de películas, cosa que hasta le ha dado más dinero, y sacar un disco de vez en cuando, acaba de sacar uno después de tantos años que es excelente! Aunque yo sea más fan de Steve Howe hay que reconocer que sin Rabin Yes hubiera desaparecido en los 80...

[@michaelorleans5396]

Good one!

[@popdiv]

Oye hablando de todon un poco, dale un vistazo al album "Down to the Moon" by the virtuoso Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider. Ese LP tiene dos de mis canciones favoritas from the mid 80's trippy/prog playlist: "Moon Dance" y "Night Fire Dance" ; Not to mention the airy Japanese tones on the rest of the LP. Estoy seguro que lo encontraras interesante. Cheers desde Puerto Rico.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Hey Popdiv! Muchas gracias por tu super comment! Escuché a Vollenweider en una recopilación que había en mi casa durante mi adolescencia.Voy a buscar este album. Saludos a Puerto Rico Happy New Year!

[@BDHO73]

Nice work JCM. But how does the video have round 700 views (at time of writing) but 11,000 likes? Strange. It deserves the likes though.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Hey man thanks for tuning in! I must say i am also puzzle at the number of views. While i never have any expectations when working on a project, you kinda hope it gets traction. The best explanation i can come up is people use YT more on the weekends. So ill have to just premiere more than one on the weekenda i guess, just like a TV station hehe. Funny how the algorhythm works, even though it says Robert Plant and Black Sabbath on the cover. I really enjoyed doing this episode. No regrets if the numbers are down, it kinda speaks of the underrated nature of geniuses :) Thank YOU for watching! If you can share it on your socials, that helps!

[@BDHO73]

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I thinks there’s something wrong with my system. Lots of others videos are showing 11k Likes too. Strange. Thanks again for the video.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

It's because of releasing it on a "low rating" day that's all. It will slowly increase its views, you"ll see!

[@Zoso_ro8wi]

Thanks JCM…great episode. Do you have any insight on what happened to Charlie Jones after the 1998 Page Plant tour ended? I saw a video on KZbin of him selling one of his bass guitars. I always enjoyed his playing and stage presence.
