Rare Groove Orchestra (NL)
The Rare Groove Orchestra was formed in 2003 in The Hague by four
men with a preference for homemade rare grooves. For this reason,
funk, soul and soul-jazz are the main ingredients and the end
result is prepared with thick drum beats, sprinkled with deep bass
lines and finely cut guitar licks, and served with a substantial
touch of the Hammond B3 Organ. The recipe has earned a lot of
approval, as can be gathered by their performance at EuroJazz in
Mexico, for instance. In 2007, their debut album The Rare Groove
Orchestra was released on the Souljazzer label. At the beginning of
2009 the long-awaited second album, The Man with the Dirty Finger,
was brought out, on which during a live performance they give all
they've got.
