When We Were Young (feat. Randy Kemp, Ilya Gitelman, Bob Carroll, Nick Rodriguez, & Dan Ebert)
February, 2022
Manson Swings introduces talented guitarist Ilya Gitelman, who lent the band a hand during the 2020 quarantine. Due to the health hazards, the only truly live players on this album are Gitelman (lead guitar) and Kemp (vocals, rhythm guitar, drums, keyboard, woodwinds); all other members were sampled from previous recordings in their absence. This is the most experimental crossover jazz project the band has to date.
