Trumpeter, arranger, composer, and vocalist Rob Dehlinger has been leading The Alpha Rhythm Kings since 2017, delighting audiences from California to New York with their exuberant blend of retro swing and jump blues. Critics and fans alike praise the band’s “badge of authenticity,” a testament to their stylistic precision and irresistible onstage energy. The group now celebrates the release of their second full length album, PARTY TIME. Although the musicians are top tier interpreters of 1930s and ’40s swing and the band is exceptionally tight, the album’s “magic sauce” lies in Dehlinger’s spot on arrangements. He captures the essence of vintage swing and jump blues while giving each track a contemporary spark, never straying far from the heart of the music. Even modern tunes are convincingly transformed into period authentic showpieces. PARTY TIME says it all. It’s music for celebrations, good times, and anyone who likes to hit the dance floor. With his impeccable arrangements and deep command of vintage style, Dehlinger proves that this joyful, swinging, and timeless music never goes out of fashion.
