During 2020 pandemic shutdowns, Glenn Crytzer and His Quartet formed a "pod," converted a room of Glenn’s NYC apartment into a recording and live streaming studio, and undertook an ambitious, fan-funded project: recording 10 songs per week for 25 weeks, live in front of a streaming audience. Each week the band researched songs from a different year, beginning with 1920 and moving chronologically to 1944, seeking out original sheet music and early recordings to inform their melodic and harmonic decisions. The sessions not only provided income for the musicians when there were no gigs to be found, but created a wonderful online community of listeners who would tune in every Sunday.
