“...dramatic melodies and rhythms that swing with passion and precision...a very marketable sound, with its Hammond organ and in-the-pocket beats.” -Oregonian. Take some of America’s most burning R&B and jazz players, make them play together over many years and combine it with first-rate steaming charts, and you’ve got “Night Grooves.” With a rhythm section anchored by former Motown drummer & senior NW jazz statesman Mel Brown, “Night Grooves” sizzles and swings through originals and tight arrangements of early Blue Note inspired compositions. As Willamette Week describes it: “Night Grooves harnesses some of Portland's hottest jazz players to a chassis of suave nightclub funk."
