- Gypsy jazz, acoustic swing, country, blues -- whatever it is, it makes me smile. Two masterful musicians jamming and hamming it up in the Much Music studio in Toronto.
After the jam Jeff says to Colin - "I thought you'd be taller."
RIP Jeff Healey.
If people only knows what two brilliant musician can do to an instrument, this video would have 56 Million views.
I have no idea how the hell jeff can play in that position and even blind.... absolutley amazing
Technically he’s only blind to our normal perspective, from Jeff’s own perspective people and guitars are still audible and tactile objects in space.
He had developed super skills we sighted folks never did.
Wow Jeff so amazing ....Colin too so cool
Such AWESOMENESS!
They sure Look like they're Enjoying Themselves and their First Meeting!
Thank You Much Music for recording THIS!

Jeff Healy was awesome
I was watching this in a bar with my headphones on and started clapping at the end man I looked skits
Amazing ❤❤
I saw Jeff play 2 years after this at a local park ( festival ) in Mississauga & sat in disbelief as to what I was hearing… Thank you to both of you for helping to guide me to my music influences…
@shawnyboie -Jeff was not born blind but he might as well have been. He lost his sight at 8 months due to cancer. Unfortunately he lost his life to the same cancer in 2008. Thankful for the years and music he gave us.
I am so happy I found this! This is pure gold. Worth more then any amount of money! Priceless and timeless 👌
So amazing, if this doesn't get your toe tappin' you are probably dead!

Rip Jeff. Hope you're seeing the light now.
I love when they both forget the lyrics to "What Do You Want Me To Do" and laugh at the same time. I look forward to that part every time I watch this.
Kool to see Colin and Jeff together. You can't watch this and stay in a bad mood.
True Canadian talent right there my friends...👏
Couple great Canadian talents, and 2 of my favourite guitar players.
Sweet...too bad these guys didn't ever collaborate on an song/album - they are both so creative it would have been interesting to see what came out.
I found Collin James in the Army over in Germany in 1990...he did Percy Sledge..Sudden Stop...what a man...God he rocks!
I used to see Jeff down at the MistyMoon in Halifax. He was the only one I ever heard literally beat his guitar on the stage and make it sound good. RIP.
I’ve heard of that style but different from a east coaster Matt Anderson….. he’s sooooo great too breaking strings cause he’s that powerful sounding on that thang ❤️❤️ Too All this talent that will never age …….. Cause We Live Baby 🎸
two of my favorite blues artists.
this is my all time favourite Jeff and Colin song
thats was awesome....wish they could still play together
Unbelievably great!
Big freakin' grin plastered on my face.
RIP Jeff. Cheers Colin. Love you guys!
Fantastic. that is all. two of the greats smiling the blues away.
WoW......amazing talent.......rip Jeff.....you are sorely missed.
Look at the HAIR! RIP Jeff, you were one of a kind...
We miss you Jeff! Great Canadians both of you!
Two of the Best!! My absolute Canadian favorites....Stevie Ray Vaughan aggreed! Thanks for this!! Good on Terry DM
Thanks for this trip down memory lane to a time when Much Music was worth watching!!!
Amazing, true blues masters captured together for a rare magic moment....absolutely stunning! More of this plz! Thank you so much for sharing, this is what UA-cam is all about!
So amazing! True musicians!!!!!!!
They are so young, and so learned. Miss Stevie Ray Vaughan. He helped our Canadian talent flourish.
Theres a whole lot of fuckin talent in that room. Glad I got to experience JH live in my lifetime.
I’m so happy to see this come up on my feed 9/2/24. What a gem!
Fantastic! Love seeing Jeff Healey again, :).
Some fine Canadian music!! Sure do miss you Jeff.............
My three biggest canadian heros colin jeff and Neil young.
But this is just awesome, these two together doin that swing thing
Two great players, jamming! This type of interaction is great! Most times players treat jamming as a sport and try to up one another. Here both played to the tune, which is what it should always be!
Oh my two amazing men!! That is awesome!!!!
OH man this is really something wow great guitarists both of them !!!!!

Canadian X 2. Thank you for posting this Carl, it warms my Canuckian heart to see these Canadian greats. I just wish Colin was better known and more respected. He is so much better then Brian Adams.
I WISH HE WOULD CROSS THE BORDER SOMETIME... COLIN... JEFF HEALEY R.I.P. TRA!!!
god bless you for posting this amazing video!!
This is really cool, its just amazing :))
My brother saw a young Jeff knockin em out at the horse shoe before he was famous. We miss you Jeff. /// Colin is still awesome and a super nice guy...He has Jeffs drummer on board for live shows ./// T. D. has a radio show played Edmonton on CKUA , and he does this wine tasting show too. He lives on a farm in BC.
TY Git....
Good stuff..
R.I.P Mr. Healey
Managed to see Colin and Jeff play in Calgary long ago and then caught Colin in Toronto and later Manhattan (had a chance to chat with him; approachable and decent). As has been noted by others, would have been nice were Colin and Jeff to have made an album or two.
PT is probably the best guitar teacher you will ever find. He does lesson breakdowns if required, but plays mostly straight through with no BS.
holy fuck they are good
So good !!!!
I really like the second song;overall feel and Colin James' harmonizing. Thank you very much for sharing this priceless vid! Mmmm...where's Terry David Mulligan these days?
I like this song
Just found it, thanks so much!
so great
Very cool.
the best!!
truly Canadian
+lesterclayool1--I've met Colin James on a number of occasions, and would call him anything BUT difficult to get along with. For me as a fan, talking blues with a master bluesman was a thrill, and he hung out with a fan, something many artists don't do. As for "hardly having a career these days", he doesn't play mainstream pap or garbage, which seems to be what sells nowadays. He loves music from a bygone era (or two), and doesn't follow trends.
+Jett Crash well said!!
+Jett Crash All Music dot calm my great source for music trivia said about Colin James . . . . " .. All of James's albums are well-recorded affairs. The only problem is, he doesn't tour the U.S. very much, and spends most of his time in Canada. In 1998, he toured with Steve Winwood, Little Feat and Keith Richards; Colin James & the Little Big Band II followed a year later."
Imaging that. Spends his time in Canada. Eh?
+Gra Gor--that would be because most Americans have their heads so far up their butt when it comes to music, that they fail to recognize artists who aren't American or British... Many Canadian artists have carved out a decent career for themselves based on album sales and touring in Canada. I don't know that Colin has any regrets...
I Want to meet,Colin James that would be Epic. Was Fortunate enough,To see Jeff Healey in Concert before we Lost him. Legends and Canadian Artists
🍁❤. Great Share. Happy Thanksgiving to,Everyone on here.
Colin watched me busking one day in edmonton Alberta with a borrowed guitar ..i was barely twenty, and he wasn't much older ,he was so kind and did his best not to flinch thru my pitchy performance.. lol omg i was bad . hes so cool and radiates musicality.
Someone in his band had to tell me who he was, this was before he hit big
Very good
Holy golly gee wowzer yoiks!
Sweet
Ya, should be called Much Reality now.
Derek Trucks is quite amazing!! Love the dudes who need no pick! Reminds me of Sultans of Swing!! Any thoughts??
cooooooooooooooooooooool
wow
🔥🎸🔥🎸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Stevie Ray Vaughn ...is not sweating 😅 😉✌
whaaaat??!! MUCH MUSIC actually used to show good music??
It used to be a great show.
I’m guessing that is a Kramer Ferrington guitar, the same brand Eddie Van Halen used on the song “Dreams.”
XLNT !
🍁🌲
Colin James is vampire....
Whatever happened to the Mulligan character.
privatetricker has just posted an online cover and he's very good. His videos always clearly show his fingers.
Wow. That is cool as fuck!
The is where Reignwolf got his sound from right here..n
Can anyone post the Chords for Killin Jive?! I can't find them anywhere and it's really hard to figure out...
