Location: Durham, NC, USA

Featured on Hey Mister Jesse episode #145 in 2018.

Producer's Notes: "Keenan McKenzie is often found in the reed sections of the Mint Julep Jazz Band, Michael Gamble & The Rhythm Serenaders, and The Jonathan Stout Orchestra, but his solo efforts as a composer and bandleader are what have truly captivated me. A young man with an old soul, his original compositions sound straight out of the Swing era. Take the title track from his 2017 album “Forged in Rhythm” for example. From the bowed opening notes to the relaxed horn riffs to Laura Windley’s spot-on vocal treatment, his 7-piece band produces a big authentic swinging sound. Sadly Keenan was born 80 years too late to give bandleader John Kirby a run for his money for title of 'Biggest Little Band in the Land'. - Jesse"
