about

2015 was the start of the Jonathan Doyle Swingtet and our Mondays at the Sahara Lounge in Austin TX. Much thanks to Eileen for giving us a shot, to Sala and Eddie for the good vibes and Sala for spinning great music, and the Datri Bean Band for opening! Thanks to all of the dancers and musicians and listeners who came by and supported and hung out. All of these tracks were recorded at the Sahara Lounge by David Jellema on his zoom recorder and then mastered by Alex Hall at Reliable. Most of the tracks are from 5 live shows spread out over the course of our 14 month residency and a few David recorded during a video shoot at the Sahara. Thanks so much to my friends and bandmates: Mark Gonzales, Brooks Prumo, Joshua Hoag, Jason Baczynski, JD Pendley, and a special thanks to David Jellema on cornet for allowing these moments to be shared. Mondays at the Sahara are no more. But we hope you enjoy these tracks as much as we enjoyed playing them!

Sales will go to the musicians involved and a portion will go to support social justice organizations.

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra

supported by 42 fans who also own “At The Sahara”

The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease. jakespatz
