The Ally Haney Albrecht & Kenny Rittenhouse Trumpet Quintet

About

Trumpeter Kenny Rittenhouse has led ensembles of various sizes around the DMV for two decades, and is a member of many others (including the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra). Rittenhouse specializes hard-bop a la Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers under Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan and his groups deliver swinging takes on the standards and the members’ originals. Here he leads a quintet alongside D.C.-based trumpeter Ally Haney Albrecht.
