Synopsis

Album Description

The Groove Collective live recording series got off to a prodigious start this cold NY night at Tonic. Since Tonic is a serious joint, Groove Collective brought the serious jam. With the help of Toni Blackwood on vocals and a crowd that wouldn't stop moving, the boys put on a truly stellar show showing once again who the real kings of New York are...Groove Collective!

CD Reviews

Good moments, but sadly ho hum.

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This record has some excellent moments showcasing the band's musical ability, but there are two serious problems. First, the sound quality is terrible. It sounds like an AUD tape, or worse, a SB patch that has been filtered through an AM radio! Whew. Very disappointing after the first few beats. Second, it's boring! Many extended jams see the band members in a groove that's so relaxed it sounds like they're on autopilot. I love this band and have seen them live, but this isn't representative. I'm desperately hoping the Brooklyn show (4/20!) will come out better."
