well, it’s been far too long without posting something with the word “groove”.  cooked up a nice dinner and afterwards was listening to this.  from downstairs, the family shouted “stop tapping your foot!”  ’nuff said, here it is.  over dinner, we were listening to corcoran holt (who i saw recently playing with kenny garrett in madrid), which my daughter put on thinking it might be classical.  won’t be fooled by a double-bass on an album cover again, i expect.

incidentally, the date of this is a bit vague.  the folder name is for 24-dec-1993, the info file has it as the 23rd, and the tracks themselves are labelled with “set 1” as on 24-dec and “set 2” as on 14-dec.

a great recording and a killer setlist. a few minor sound issues: about 1:29 into saturday afternoon there was some electronic mayhem, perhaps a cable being wiggled. it’s been cleaned up substantially. rahsaansong has about 2 minutes of very light static, perhaps from an earlier eac, which i spent a few hours cleaning up. the really offensive stuff is gone, but once you get started there’s always another tiny tic to remove, and if you listen closely you may still hear it. but, overall, not a big deal.

enjoy!

  2. BIG THX!…

  3. This band is incredible and this live 2 cd set sounds outstanding (qualitu sound and performance). These are, basically, all tracks from the first Groove Collective’s CD, and in my humble opinion, the best one. All great musicians such as Josh Roseman on trombone, Bill Ware on vibes and assorted percussion or Richard Worth on flute, to name just three. Highly recommended to those who enjoy jazz & groove at its best! And thanks a lot to the responsible of this blog!!
