His latest release on ASC, The Lions Revisited, is a vocal album that has garnered praise from Jazz Views, which described it as “a wonderful album to sit and relax to, with maybe a cognac or two, and luxuriate in the playing and singing of Gee, who has created an intimate and absorbing album.” Two of the tracks feature original music and lyrics by Jonathan, alongside collaborations with both Kate Westbrook—chief collaborator with the legendary Mike Westbrook—and noted playwright Alan Franks. The album also includes a complete reworking of Miles Davis’ Boplicity, Paul McCartney’s Blackbird, and features Jonathan singing in Portuguese on Jobim’s Waters of March.
