Groove 4tet - best portuguese SoulJazz band

"A raw sound, emotionally charged, sometimes light and danceable, sometimes more dense and experimental but always sincere without any pretensions of technique affirmation, whose the only purpose is the enjoyment of the moment by all those present in the room
The component of improvisation and the search are always present in every song, every show."

Addicting rhythms of funky clean guitar, a clear influence of John Scofield in the improvisations (but using an Envelope Filter), the classic sound of Hammond, the always pure and toneless contra-bass and rock-influenced drum beats create an jazz fusion Herbie Hancock-like groove.



They're all around 26 years old. Young and steady.

I first saw them live 1 month ago at Music Box in Cais do Sodre, and they exceeded my expectations.
During the show, once i looked backwards to the audience behind me and all i could see was heads moving, feeling the groove.


Enjoy the like above,
James
