The Nighttime Syndicate grew from a one-off session when Jeffrey Broussard recorded a tune with Sabertooth Swing Band. Magic happened, and Jeffrey Broussard enlisted the Sabertooth Swing rhythm section along with Zach Wiggins on keyboards adding a horn section from the TBC Brass Band to hop on board. After a series of singles, Jeffrey Broussard & the Nighttime Syndicate release the debut, Bayou Moonlight, using the recordings as a vehicle to promote the diversity of New Orleans music as they back the songs with elements of Zydeco, R&B, back country Cajun, Dixieland Jazz, and a variety of other native NOLA sounds. 
 
Opening Bayou Moonlight on a bounce, the band encourage listeners to ‘sit back and relax’ and ‘listen to the great, great sounds of Zydeco’ for “Whatever” while Anjelika ‘Jelly’ Joseph makes a plea for love, with a mighty saxophone at her back, in the “Richest Man” duet. The Nighttime Syndicate make a beat for feet to stomp out “Roaches”, bidding “Hello Baby’, along with Anna Moss, on heavy accordion breaths, as they walk a slow trudge promising “I’m Coming Home”, using Sam Cooke’s “Bring It on Home to Me” as an additive. They return to the Sam Cooke catalog for a true-to-source version of “A Change is Gonna Come”, reimagined with the group’s signature style of Zydeco. Boogieing in the Bayou Moonlight, Jeffrey Broussard & The Nighttime Syndicate lead a conga line to the dance floor with “Swing”, returning to a Cajun sway for “Aww, Baby” and put a marching rhythm underneath “No Good Woman”. (by Danny McCloskey)
