It's time for some Monday Monring Groove. Well, come on, it's not because I'm late that it's not monday morning for someone! Hello readers on the West Coast!
Anyway, this is groove, this is Lettuce, this is music that will make you shake your booty. I'm keeping the best Lettuce track (in my opinion) Nyack for a future podcast, but in the meantime you can get a good taste with Squadlive.
Lettuce is one of those projects that bands that have other lives do. Part of the crew is Soulive, don't really know where the others come from. Suffice it to say that they are hot, as evidenced by this Live in Tokyo, one of the only two releases under their name.
I cannot praise this record enough. I don't know if I should call it acid jazz, jazz funk, groove or what, but I love it. Give it a try and let me know!
Absolutly great ! Can't wait for the greater tune to come !
And if you enjoy that kind of jazz, i strongly recommend some RH Factor (RH standing for Roy Hargrove) and most certainly the delightful "Dreyfus night in Paris" an atmoic live from Petrucciani, Miller & some more.
