Kenny Rittenhouse Swings Into Legacy

Kenny Rittenhouse drops his swinging new album Anthem for the Elders, a soulful tribute to jazz tradition, Black culture, and the elders who shaped his sound. With tracks like “Shaft vs. Super Fly” and “Geechee Land!” and a lineup of jazz legends, he’s channeling his decades of experience—from Army Blues to Smithsonian gigs—into a groove-driven celebration of legacy. Humble about his role as “the weakest link,” he’s also hustling to book gigs for his quintet, teach youth, and launch a weekly jam to pass the torch. At 60, he’s not slowing down—he’s stepping into his role as a jazz elder, keeping the rhythm alive for the next generation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
