For those unaware, based out of Atlanta, Georgia, The Moore-McColl Jazz Society is Beth Moore (Vocals/Piano/Rhodes/Organ) and Chance McColl (Electric Guitar, Vocals).

The Moore-McColl Jazz Society delivers a fresh take on 1970’s jazz organ/guitar combos. Think: What if Groove Holmes dueted with Boogaloo Joe Jones with drums, upright bass, and a 3-part horn section?!

The dynamic duo, who united their creative energies to compose and produce an unparalleled jazz sound, masterfully blends blues and jazz to create a genre-blurring voyage that pays homage to the past while embracing a distinctively 21st-cenetury flair.

The Moore-McColl Jazz Society made a mark with Electric Fantastic, carving out an hour-long narrative of friendship, musicianship, and homage to classic jazz and blues, amplified by some of Atalanta’s finest talent.

But their journey didn’t stop there, though, for after a 2021 Christmas EP, they are now following those up with their brand new sophomore album Up and Gone, a full-length album soaked in ’70s funk influences and narrated by the collaborative voice of McColl and Moore.

1. What’s Still Happening
2. Somebody’s Calling
3. Up and Gone
4. Sunlit Flowers (Against the Sky)
5. Back to Atlanta
6. A Song for Vince
7. Sojourn in A Minor
8. No Apology

Swaying onto the scene with the smoothness of an after-hours jam, The Moore-McColl Jazz Society open this album with the late night mood caught on What’s Still Happening and the low slung blues of Somebody’s Calling and back those up with the free flowing, titular Up and Gone and the ornately sculpted balladry of Sunlit Flowers (Against the Sky).

Building on the foundations of their debut album, along next is the all-embracing, heartfelt Back to Atlanta, which is itself followed by the impassioned artistry on show within A Song for Vince, rounding out on the abundantly sumptuous, smoothly funky Sojourn in A Minor, coming to a close on the bluesy guitar work and rousing vocals of No Apology.
