ACME JAZZ GARAGE

Jazz, blues, funk, Latin jazz and fusion meet in the combustible sound of Acme Jazz Garage, featuring guitarist Matt Swenson, bassist Philip Booth, pianist/keyboardist Jody Marsh, saxophonist Rick Runion, and drummers (variously) Michael Washington and Jean Bolduc. The group is sometimes joined by guest singers, including Shelby Sol and Marshall Gillon. Sharkskin, the second full-length album from Acme Jazz Garage, on the Solar Grooves label, is available for streaming and download, and as a CD. The 2021 album, with a mix of acoustic and electric grooves and textures, draws from mainstream jazz, Latin jazz, blues, and fusion. The group features Booth, Swenson, longtime former Acme pianist/keyboardist Bryan Lewis, and special guests: NYC tenor saxophonist Jeremy Powell (Arturo O’Farrill, Eddie Palmieri), our old friend and former gig mate; singer Shelby Sol; Michael Washington on congas and percussion; drummers Pat Close and Dave Reinhardt; flutist Peggy Morris; and the Imperial Polk Horns read more...
