On this page we will post links and descriptions of our own playlists with Jay's music on Spotify. As most of you know he has participated on sooooo many recordings over the years, as a session musician, producer, songwriter, arranger, and more. Not everything is available on Spotify, but we will create various playlists with selections from his very long and multi-faceted career of what is currently out there on Spotify. The lists will also be announced on his Facebook page as we make them public.

There is so much to discover, e.g. so many songs over the years that you probably did not know he played on.

Jay Graydon Artist Page on Spotify

For the full discography plus more details about each track, see the Jay Graydon Discography (alphabetical pages) and/or the Jay Graydon Recording Sessions (chronological pages).

Jay's song catalogue is noted in full here with all of the corresponding releases.

Again, please note, these playlists are far from complete as regards Jay's work in full, since not everything is up and running on Spotify. For instance, the Steve Kipner album "Knock The Walls Down", with the best guitar solo of all times on "The Ending", as well as the Aretha Franklin songs he played on, and so many other significant releases, are not available on Spotify at this point, but hopefully, the missing stuff will be added in due time.

Do feel free to follow and share these playlists. They represent a big chunk of Jay's immense contribution to the music scene over the years. However, remember that streaming can never represent the same musical dynamics and listening pleasure as a properly mixed and mastered CD or even better, an analogue vinyl. As you know, streaming is just an appetizer for the real deal, as regards a top quality audio experience.

 

We hope the music in these playlists will give you many hours of musical enjoyment!
