JazzTimes (p.114) - "'Groove Blues' is just that, a simple shuffle with an infectious feel that Garrett, Turre and Miller jump on with earthy gusto. Dig Washington's fat, walking bass lines here."
Steve Turre.
Personnel: Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone); Sean Jones (trumpet); Mulgrew Miller (piano); Peter Washington (upright bass); Ignacio Berroa (drums, percussion).
On 2008's RAINBOW PEOPLE, veteran jazz trombonist Steve Turre leads an impressive ensemble that includes pianist Mulgrew Miller, saxophonist Kenny Garrett, and bassist Peter Washington. Standout tracks on this vibrant set include "Brother Ray," a bluesy number that nods to one of Turre's mentors, Ray Charles, and the Spanish-tinged "Midnight in Madrid."
