True Audiophile: The Best of Groove Note, Vol. 2

by True Audiophile: Best Of Groove

Overview

Groove Note Records began releasing jazz and blues recordings in 2005. They've also expanded their vision and have begun to re-release rare tracks by vintage artists such as Illinois Jacquet (Birthday Party) and look to genre-bending vocalists in order to showcase excellent music coming from the jazz and blues traditions. This second sampler of the label's wares contains tracks by many of their roster artists, such as soul-jazz guitarist Anthony Wilson, gorgeous ballads and standards by Jacinta, blues by none other than Jay McShann, modern-day samba by Eden Atwood, and some beautiful straight-ahead work by saxophonist Bennie Wallace to mention a few. In addition to the excellent performances, Groove Note is an audiophile label with the highest production standards, making this little set a second excellent introduction to a still up-and-coming label. ~ Thom Jurek
