Corner Pocket Groove are a Glasgow based trio of sax, guitar, bass and vocals. We play an eclectic mixture of original material, jazz standards and jazzed up versions of more contemporary material. CPG is a gigging band and as such we're most interested in setting the scene for great nights out, not getting stuck in never ending solos. So if you like jazzy goodness, and no-one else is playing that night, and if you can find us, maybe you can...come along to a gig. See you out there.
"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
