Now, the journey dives into the deep soulfulness and broad-spanning musical gifts of Rhiannon Giddens, a two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, MacArthur "Genius" grant recipient, Pulitzer Prize winner and composer."

"With the expert rhythm section tandem of guitarist Vic Wong and bassist Joe Kyle Jr., percussionist Randy Odell and veteran reed player Tom Griesser, the combo delivers a delicious repertoire of overlooked gems by the likes of Fat Waller, Andy Razaf and Duke Ellington."
