[kj] Jaz's subtle restoration

[Christof hamille]

Jaz's voice is from years of use.  Coming back to a mellower style will 
likely not happen.  And definately not live.  You hear a little of it every 
once in a while but you can tell he is struggling.

People like Lemmy have done it since day one.

It is just your preferance and for me it depends on the song.  I do know if 
quite doingn the cigars everyday it would certainly help his throat.
