He has performed with many Jazz artists including Herb Ellis, Eddy Jones, Tom McClung, Ed Byrne, Steve McCraven, Benny Waters, Eddy Lock, among others. His recordings, a solo guitar CD “Sly Entrance” (2000) and with The Jay Messer Quintet a CD “Bayside” (2001) have received rave reviews from newspapers and international magazines including Jazz Improv and Cadence magazine. Jay’s most recent recordings are; his 2nd solo guitar CD titled “Concentration” released in October, 2010, and a new quintet project recorded in November, 2010, due to be released in the Spring of 2011.

Jay Messer performs high quality Jazz with a repertoire from the 1920’s forward to contemporary Jazz composers. His repertoire spans “Fats”Waller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, the Great American Song Book, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, & Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Jay Messer and his quintet, is Jazz at once readily accessible and subtly nuanced. It’s also simply beautiful”.
John Stifler, The Daily Hampshire Gazette
“ Jay is a very beautiful and interesting guitarist, composer, arranger and a master of the inner line harmony.”
Marion Brown
“Messer’s Quintet finds a wealth of riches that allow for another angle of individual expression.”
Jazz Improv Magazine
“Many play the guitar well (some maybe too well),know about the main cats, write nice tunes, etc...but something is often missing. I guess it’s the depth and maturity from someone who’s been living and honing their style for a long time...like Jay.
Mitch Seidman, Professor at Berklee College of Music, Boston, and was contributing
editor to 20th Century Guitar Magazine
