*denotes the O.G. (original Groove)
Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, The Band, Miles Davis, The Beatles, James Brown, Robert Johnson, ah.....there's too much to be specific. How about anything with the pure intention to make somebody feel something that they didn't necessarily feel beforehand, or at least they didn't know they felt before. Get that freak out.
Sounds Like
Take a solid & punchy rhythm section, thicken it up with some phatty B-3 organ, throw some slippery guitar in the stratos, augment the funk with growling horns, & a final touch of bluesy howlin' vocals.......and you've got the recipe, but you can taste it with your sweaty dancin' shoes.
Like a song, which swells and saturates, spikes and turns with meandering interplay, & may even sporadically change key, must invariably come to an end. I’ve been using the name Lefty Groove for five years now as a jump-off point into many musical adventures. It has been a comfortable umbrella under which to explore different directions with many GREAT players. It gave me the freedom to immerse myself in a double-guitar quartet, a power trio, a honky-tonk blues band, & to lead an organ/horn infused seven-piece funk bohemoth. At the very least…it cooked, and you can’t let a good meal sit out too long before it goes stale. So now, with respect to the ballplayer it was named after & the musicians who made it cackle & moan, I lay down my dancehall maiden.
Thanks for dancin’ your cares away,
Chuck
