about

Spirits of Rhythm is an exploration of the artists who inspire us.

Jazz is alive today. Not as a museum piece to be preserved, but as a living art form, to be explored and experienced. Artie Shaw embodied that exploration. His ears led him toward unorthodox arrangement choices- like adding a harpsichord, or incorporating bebop into his Gramercy Five small group. Always pushing his artistry, he blurred lines of style and era.

That's what we aspire to do on this record. In the spirit of Artie Shaw,
we follow our hearts and ears to a new sound, digging deep for those
moments of shared inspiration. In the midst of bluesy melodies,
angular lines, the smooth style of big band swing and the fire of gypsy jazz, the spirits of rhythm come alive.

about

Moonshine Rhythm Club Nashville, Tennessee

Moonshine Rhythm Club breathes new life into old-school swing and jazz with original tunes and arrangements that make this vintage music sound like it was written this morning. With each swing of Moonshine, you’ll taste notes of Nat King Cole’s classy and hip vocals and Chet Baker’s lyrical phrasing amidst the acoustic fire of Django’s gypsy jazz and the slow burn of Count Basie’s laidback groove. ... more

I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough Alex P
