Jim Love & The Blue Groove are a wonderful fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and funky beats all blended into a phenomenal collection of sweet urban fusion jazz. I enjoyed each track especially the vocals of Raina Frey; she added a very refreshing and enjoyable sound to the entire collection.
The album opens with a very up beat funky track but soon mellows down in all the right places. Everyone will surely have their favorite cut on the album, and it is definitely worth adding to your jazz CD collection, don't sleep on this one.
