I GOT RHYTHM is the song’s title, and this quintet proves they have the right to make the assertion: Jonathan Doyle, tenor; J.D. Pendley, electric guitar; Brooks Prumo, rhythm guitar; Ryan Gould, string bass; Hal Smith on drums.
Extra credit to Luke Hill, who created this lovely video.
If the music makes you think of JAMMIN’ THE BLUES, of Pres, Eddie Durham, Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Sidney Catlett, I won’t stop you from entertaining these thoughts.
I understand that this Quintet has recorded a CD, full of the same loping energy. I’ll let you know more about it when it appears. Till then, enjoy the RHYTHM.
May your happiness increase!
I love it when the musicians are really listening to each other. Seems to me the old virtues are returning among some of the young guys (all such generalization being highly risky), and if this is so, I think it may be due to their disengagement with the so called pop music of today, certainly including rap.
My nephew Hal Smith can’t be beat! Thank you so much, Nephew Michael
