This show is dedicated to The Groove. Does anyone signify The Groove better than Tower of Power and James Brown? I don't think so. That is followed by a classic (but dated) sound of Jimmy McGriff. The rendition of All Blues here is one of the more soulful versions of the Miles Davis composition you'll hear. Next up is a set featuring Victor Wooten, a bassist that can can display pyrotechnic chops yet never losing that groove. From their we go to a Far Eastern influenced groove of Mynta, Fareed Haque, and Connecticut's own Noah Baerman. We keep it local with a Hartford area guitarist Frank Varela and Mystery Feet.
