About Jeremy Mohney
The swing’s the thing here, and Mohney’s music has a propulsive, toe-tapping bounce that evokes the ballrooms of a bygone era. Songs like “The Octave Stomp", “Show Me What You Got (and Swing It)”, and “Let Go”, have an irresistible groove thanks to the infectious singing and playing of Mohney and his fellow musicians: Conner Hollingsworth on upright bass, Braxton Kahn on drums, Andrew McNew on trombone and the standout guitar and banjo playing of Matt Cantor, who provides a rich chordal and rhythmic accompaniment and inventive soloing. How did a modern-day musician like Jeremy Mohney get so steeped in the sounds of swing? “I was close to my grandfather and from a very early age, he played me music like Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Artie Shaw. It just kind of stuck with me,” Mohney noted. “I was also into the Beatles and Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. But in the 1920s, people like Louis Armstrong redefined what music could be and basically made everything that followed possible.”
