Denny Ilett & Pete Long
swing soul jazz rhythm and blues
Influences: Charlie Parker, T-Bone Walker, Louis Jordan
Guitarist-vocalist Denny Ilett and saxophonist-vocalist Pete Long merge 1940s bebop with early rhythm and blues, drawing from innovators like Charlie Parker and T-Bone Walker. Their R&Bebop project fuses the harmonic sophistication of bebop with the groove-driven energy of proto-rock and roll, delivering melodic sophistication with infectious rhythm and good-natured swagger.
