electronicsAlbum Description
Bassist/producer Mocean Worker (aka Adam Dorn) and pianist/composer Joe Alterman have come together for Keep The Line Open, a funky, feel-good tribute to the late soul jazz legend Les McCann. Out September 26 via MOWO! Inc, the nine-track collection channels the genre-blurring spirit that defined McCann’s music, as well as his deep influence on both Dorn and Alterman, who knew him as a mentor, collaborator and close friend. With credits spanning Eddie Harris and Ramsey Lewis to Hal Willner, Marcus Miller, and Brian Eno, Dorn and Alterman fuse their distinct musical voices into an electrifying set that celebrates McCann’s legacy while standing on its own as a joyous party-starter.
