South Florida, particularly Miami, was vibrant with jazz. Musicians thrived, playing three to five nights a week, thanks to enthusiastic crowds, numerous venues, and abundant talent. The scene buzzed with energy, fueled by stiff drinks and honest performances.

Guitarist Addison Rifkind and drummer Michael Duffy, hailing from Los Angeles, and NYC’s Adam Scone on the Hammond organ, have come together to create something special, The Glades. This is modern jazz. Reverential without nostalgia, tropical without appropriation, groovy and swinging without sounding forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe A-side here is Cash Only, a classic East Coast Boogaloo with a Miami twist! A tribute to Miami’s longest running dive bar, Cash Only is a tailfeather shakin’ Friday night ruckus. As beers slide across the bar and palms smack cash down, a heavy organ chord swirls throughout the room from the spinning horns of the Leslie. Dancers shuffle their feet to hip drum beats while jazz guitar weaves in and out of the polyrhythms of the Congas. One of the most exciting Soul Jazz Organ songs of modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flip side is Cool Out, oozing with feel good vibes reminiscent of cruising in the backseat of a Cadillac through a Southern California valley. Like a ‘90s Summer jam touched by a Soul Jazz guitarist evoking Wes Mountgomery. Vibes, vibes, vibes all the way! Guitar driven like a classic Cadillac on bags cruising down SoCal highways with ease….\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerformed \/ Arranged by Adam Scone, Michael Duffy \u0026amp; Addison Riffkind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten by Michael Duffy \u0026amp; Addison Riffkind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded at The Mirrored Ceiling in Fort Lauderdale, FL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMixed by Sergio Rios at Killion Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered by Golden Mastering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiki Tumbao","offers":[{"title":"Translucent Green","offer_id":44652672745649,"sku":"","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":44652672712881,"sku":"","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/8453\/9313\/files\/TheGlades_CashOnly_Green_Mock.png?v=1726763935"},{"product_id":"the-glades-the-glades","title":"The Glades - The Glades","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=950393105\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=2ebd35\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theglades.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-glades\"\u003eThe Glades by The Glades\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Fall of 2003, I naively asked Miami New Times readers where the jazz had gone. Thinking of the jazz scenes in Chicago and New York City at the time, I knew it wasn’t the DJ or the electronic takeover of South Beach that had killed a scene that had thrived from the late ’60s to the mid-’80s. No, South Florida – particularly Miami – was vibrant with jazz. Musicians thrived, playing three to five nights a week, thanks to enthusiastic crowds, numerous venues, and abundant talent. The scene buzzed with energy, fueled by stiff drinks and honest performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then it wasn’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time of that article, a handful of players from that era persisted, keeping the music going in even fewer venues.

Will it ever thrive like back in the day? It’s hard to tell, but it is exciting for me, a little over 20 years later, to hear hands-down delicious jazz created by a trio of recent transplants. Guitarist Addison Rifkind and drummer Michael Duffy, hailing from California via Studio City and LA, respectively, and NYC’s Adam Scone on the Hammond organ, have come together to create something special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is modern jazz.
