Groove Collective - Live: Brooklyn, NY 04.20.02

For nearly a decade, Groove Collective has been transcending categories with one goal in mind: to move listeners' minds and feet. Long before the term "jam band" hit the scene, this crew of New York City-based stylistic adventurers was laying down grooves that buzzed with funk, jazz, house, Latin and every party-inducing sound in between. Jamband? Acid Jazz? These guys helped shape the modern definition of both while Collective-ly keepin' the Groove. "We're from all around the world — different countries, different backgrounds — you name it", explains drummer and producer Genji Siraisi, "but when the group plays together, life becomes simple again — we want our music to be lush, undeniable, beautiful, and of course, danceable."
Groove Collective smoked out some grooves on 4/20. This show blasts you off on a high altitude ride on Groove Collective's astro-musical freighter of love. This 2 CD set was recorded at North Six in Brooklyn, NY April 20th, 2002. -- [i][/i]
