Rock, funk, blues, reggae, jazz, soul, and much more... The Great Story is the music for the listener who is not limited by musical genre. Jefferson Jay's soulful approach to music is truly original. Jay's "Great Story" tells the tale of a world, forty years in the future, which appears ideal on the surface, but is not. Luxury betrays many Americans as extreme affluence leads to a life of leisure that is too good be true. When the cover is lifted and the worldwide suffering that supports American lifestyles is revealed, some people cannot come to terms with these newfound truths. Desperate forces assemble as the Great Disparity quietly claims millions of innocent victims. There is a tribe, in tune with nature, who try outside of this truth, but in time, even they are drawn in to this struggle, a struggle through which everyone who lives is united and affected each day. How these events play out can be only found in Jay's hour-long musical odyssey

The "Great Story" is a concept album in the mold of those Jay holds in the highest esteem, Pink Floyd's "Animals" and "The Wall," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," and The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, " to name a few. A "Great Story" motion picture is forthcoming in 2008. Be the first to hear the "Great Story" in your town. In Southern California, the "Great Story" has been referred to as "The Local Thriller," the album everybody simply has to own.
