Karma Auger - Blue Groove

Review by Melvin Tejada

Karma Auger's album Blue Groove is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast. The album features a seamless blend of jazz, blues, and funk that creates a unique and captivating sound. The musicianship on the album is top-notch, with each member of the band bringing their own unique style and energy to the mix.

The album's opening track "Blue Groove" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious rhythm and soulful horn lines. "Funky Biscuit" is another standout track, with its funky bassline and playful piano solos. "Rise Up" is a more laid-back track that showcases Auger's soulful vocals and the band's ability to create a rich and emotive atmosphere.

Throughout the album, Auger's keyboard skills are on full display, with his playing ranging from delicate and melodic to bold and adventurous. The rest of the band provides a solid foundation for Auger's keyboard wizardry, with tight rhythms and dynamic solos from the horns and guitar.
