The Retro Rhythm Review is exactly that – a ten member, intensive re-examination and energetic reinterpretation of the best-known dance music of decades gone by. Comprised primarily of musicians from the University of Manitoba’s Jazz Program, the group is renowned for its dynamic and show-stopping performances of, as the groups motto states, “music of the 60’s and 70’s played by kids from the 80’s.” The brainchild of bassist Daniel Jordan (a.k.a. Jonny Moonbeam), the group has played many high-profile gigs since its inception, notably New Year’s Eve at The Forks, the Casinos of Winnipeg Move and Groove series, the 2010 Manitoba Homecoming social and Kenora’s Harbourfest. With repertoire extending from Stevie Wonder to the Supremes, James Brown to Sly Stone, this group breathes new life into old classics. The bass grooves and stage antics of Jonny Moonbeam, the explosive drumming of his little brother Michael “Mungo Moon” Jordan, the soulful organ and funky guitar, the tightest horn section this side of the Tower of Power, and the sweet singing of the sultry Satellites (Sol, Jax, and Rocket) make the Retro Rhythm Review a musical tour de force like no other.
