Dr. Mother Love Chats with John Carey Jazz Great, about his Journey to Greatness

ATLANTA — As a kid growing up in the projects of Southside Chicago, John Carey found his passion for music, more specifically the guitar. However, he couldn’t afford his own, so he settled for playing the guitars of relatives and friends. His first summer job paycheck landed him in a pawn shop where he purchased his first guitar, and as they say, the rest is history. He was well on his way to becoming a jazz great. His career spans over a half of century and he has worked with some of the legends in the genre in some capacity. After the success of his 2021 album, “The Journey Home,” Carey returns early 2023, with a Valentine’s Day single release, titled, “I’ll Be The One.”After overcoming cancer, Carey realized how intricate of a role, music, writing, and performing are to him.
