This is what DJ/Host Steve Quirk of "Fusion Flavours" has to say about Blue Soul Groove...
"I have been doing Fusion Flavours for 17 years now… It’s always great to get home grown talent in the UK playing “Smooth Jazz”. Blue Soul Groove are one of the big new discoveries of 2007 for me. They are the real deal."
DJ/Host of NYC "The Groove Boutique" Rafe Gomez on 'The Groove'...
"The Blue Soul Groove flow picks up right where the 90s acid jazz vibe left off. Neil's chops, production, and songcraft are smackin' enough to get lovers of the boom bap into a serious head nod, and it's commercial enough to please the most passionate smooth jazz fan. I absolutely dig what the fellas are doing - it fits in perfectly with the groove expectations of my national listening audience."
From DJ/Host Colin Marshall at "Magic 106.3 Santa Barbara"...
"Neil Warden's Blue Soul Groove brings exactly what the genre needs right now: solid beats, skilled instrumentation, a high production sheen and, most importantly, original, modern compositions deserving of all three."
