about

"At the Codfish Ball" is the culmination of many years of preparation, during which time I collected material and wrote arrangements. I've brought together an all-star lineup of talent to produce a TOUR DE FORCE that combines driving rhythm, lush harmony, and timeless melodies. Although most of my previous albums have focused on ragtime and early jazz, "At the Codfish Ball" is decidedly SWING, a prominent aspect of my musical persona virtually unexplored in my own recordings. -Dan Levinson

Forged in Rhythm

supported by 7 fans who also own “At the Codfish Ball”

I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough Alex P
