1998

The babyfaced Mohney and his band have a slew of self-released albums and singles on Spotify and Bandcamp Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl), and were a staple at swing dances, bars and old-timey events in the Front Range and Denver before COVID limited the musician to playing online performances for donations, Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl). We spoke with Mohney recently about the direct-to-vinyl campaign — which will stop accepting orders on June 24 — and more.

That was fun. It was really, you know, sort of fulfilling on a spiritual level, if you will. At the beginning of it all, it really did. I think that caused a lot of stress for a lot of different parties, just playing in the same place for no money and virtually no tips. Getting paid in whiskey has its advantages, but it also [laughs] I think I need to grow up a little bit from that.

For someone who grew up in Boulder, how did jazz become the music that you live and breathe? I Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl) really close to my grandfather growing up, and I still am. I still listen to them and love Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl).

It probably has a lot to do with my personal relationship with my grandfather, but the music just speaks volumes for itself.

Chicago-style, New Orleans-style, Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl) you want to call it. That swing is the spirit of America, or what America should be. Yeah — I just love the style so much. I really let it get into me enough that I feel like I kind of do it justice when I write it. I was lucky that as I was getting involved in the swing-music scene around here I did get the chance to take for free, from UC Denver, an ensemble class, a band class for traditional jazz, Solo (8) - Touch Me (Vinyl) is essentially the music that we play.

Right now, with Black Lives Matter in the streets and most people understandably upset about racist police brutality, do you feel like being steeped in the history of jazz is a way to prevent racism, just knowing how much African-Americans have contributed? Daryl Davis, the blues piano player who played with Little Richard and B.

King, personally meets [Ku Klux] Klan members. Have you ever heard of Fats Domino or Little Richard? Look at Benny Goodman and the way he hired black artists and put them on the radio in the s, well before civil rights.

He made himself into a true hero of American culture. Those are great stories that are all part of this music. I guess at the end of the day I have to make a decision to put something out.

I just wanted to sing some swing and get in the spirit of what a swing dance is. Welcome to the subreddit dedicated to talking about the band, Genesis, and its associated works. You'll have to look elsewhere if you want to discuss the Sega Genesis or the book in the Bible! Because the subreddit is dedicated to the band, posts should only be about the band and the solo works of its members.

Studio versions of songs are allowed, but we discourage them and instead encourage demos or live performances of songs. Need a place to talk about Genesis? Check out this Genesis Discord server!

Aw man, he's gotta give Wind and Wuthering another chance. Once that album really hits you, there's nothing else quite like it. The best way to experience that album is to steal a Ford Pinto and listen to it non-stop on 8 Track while driving across the desert through the night. Or maybe not.
