Brazilian Groove Band - Anatomy Of Groove

If ever there was a Latin funk supergroup, then it was the Brazillian Groove Band.

The band included heavyweights like Reuben Wilson and Grant Green Jnr. Those sort of musicians simply do not know how to drop the ball. The swinging Nuyorican soul that encapsulates the New York funk scene has not dated one little bit. The only question is why it took so long for this gem to be released? There’s no fat, just lean and mean groove.

It’s almost as if the 1980s never happened and the world just wants to dance to sexy Latin beats. Friday night records don’t get any funkier than this.
