Description
Mocean Worker (aka Adam Dorn) and Joe Alterman have joined forces for 'Keep The Line Open,' a funky, feel-good tribute to the late soul jazz icon Les McCann. Designed to evoke the energy of a raucous after-hours nightclub circa 1967, the album features eight original tracks inspired by McCann, along with a reimagining of his classic jam "Burnin' Coal." The set channels the genre-blurring spirit that defined McCann's music, while reflecting his deep influence on both Dorn and Alterman, who knew him as a mentor, collaborator, and close friend. With credits ranging from Eddie Harris and Ramsey Lewis to Hal Willner, Marcus Miller, and Brian Eno, Dorn and Alterman fuse their distinct artistry into an electrifying long-player that celebrates McCann's essence while standing on its own as a joyous, party-starter.
