about

“Closer to Home” is Robert Kennedy’s second full-length album as leader of a Hammond-organ jazz combo. With a core of hard bop and soul jazz standards, this release nods to gospel, straight-ahead, and jazz/rock while celebrating blues as the foundation of jazz. This mix of standards and original tunes features Kennedy on organ, award-winning San Francisco guitarist Terrence Brewer, and on drums Cody Rhodes of Geographer and Christopher Owens’s Curls. On seven of its ten tunes, the album also includes Grammy-winning tenor saxophonist Ben Torres of the Pacific Mambo Orchestra.
