Faring from London, the acid-jazz influence is apparent throughout the CD. <i>Glow<\/i> slows it down, stretching out the piano  a bit and then growing in intensity toward the end.<\/p>\n<p>     Producer-arranger Stuart Wade has put together a tight compilation here. <i>Searching FOr A Simple Groove<\/i> harkens back to the <i>Eddie Harris<\/i> days, and in the end they find it. <i>My One and All<\/i> is an earthy track that features the vocals of <b>Hi St. Soul<\/b> and smooth guitar of <b>Paul &#8216;Shilts&#8217; Weimar<\/b>.  Most of the tracks here have are mellow and grooving without feeling too &#8216;smooth&#8217;.  On the whole this is a gritty, jazz\/funk album that continues in the acid-jazz tradition we are so lucky to get from across the water.   <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" style=\"font-face:verdana; font-size:10pt\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\">    <\/font>    \t          <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Down To The BoneCrazy Vibes &amp; Things(GRP &#8211; 2002) by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3925\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
