July 28 - Daryl Lowery Instant!Groove
Regarding the band's debut CD Jazziz
magazine wrote "Daryl Lowery and
Instant!Groove specialize in the funky
soul-jazz grooves commonly referred
to as 'acid-jazz.' The rhythm section is
elastic, mid-tempo patterns aid excel-
lent solos...resulting in a sound akin to
John Scofield's A Go Go CD."
