Dig The Vibe

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."

"Peace One Day" - An individual had an idea in 1999. Jeremy Gilley is the founder and chairman of Peace One Day. This year millions of people around the world will mark 21st September - Peace Day - in whatever way they can. <“We must make every effort for the promotion of peace and inner values. I fully support [Peace One Day].” His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Laureate." “My experience of conflict is that those who are involved in it long for even a day of peace. To have a day of cessation of violence, that to me is an idea whose time has come.” Mary Robinson, then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, from a filmed meeting with Jeremy Gilley Have a good one! Sending Blessings, Love, Light and Peace your way from Canada, Anita aka Angelwingss7
