CREDITS
[...] THE GROOVE YARD is a high-quality jazz-hammond quartet that made me
"scared". They are very good, their Hammond player masters his instrument
like a real Sixties jazz musician.
Thanks to their repertoire, this band is ready to face with national and international audiences.
From "Green Onions" to rearranged Sixties and Seventies tracks and they offer their own tracks too [...] "Oscar - STATUTO Voice"
Thanks to their repertoire, this band is ready to face with national and international audiences.
From "Green Onions" to rearranged Sixties and Seventies tracks and they offer their own tracks too [...] "Oscar - STATUTO Voice"
[...] They are able to mix various music genres like Beat, Soul, Funky, Spy & Acid Jazz,
maintaining at the same time their "Trade Mark", that is a mellow scathing sound
with involving rhythms and atmospheres [...]
"Moreno Patuzzo - Beat Epoque"
"Verona & Sound" review on "THE GROOVE YARD" - Cd of the month April 2008
[...] The first album of this band is a pleasant mix between hammond sound, jazz, soul and spy and mod music.
The Groove Yard inspired also to Brian Auger who gave the band's name.
Their album is focused on spy music, it is a series of tracks about some main character situations of sixties and seventies movies. They are brave because their kind of music isn't modern, but it is always charming.
Young generations that like vintage sound and we also hope other people that has never listened this genre will love The Groove Yard's music [...] "Gianluca Merlin - Radio R.C.S."

THE GROOVE YARD - "45 Giri"
"Sound & Vision" review - September 2007
This soul/mod jazz quartet from Vicenza impressed me yet at Winter Beat Epoque in a live concert.
Now The Groove Yard confirms all its potentialities in this three tracks CD entitled "45 Giri", produced by them, that has a very well-polished sleeve.
"45 Giri" has been recorded in Elfo Studio that highlights musical qualities of the quartet. At the base of this quartet there is a groove, which could be similar to certain London Acid Jazz situations, like James Taylor Quartet. But the particularity of The Groove Yard's groove is that it has a Jazz setting which has a long tradition in the Italian taste.
The title track is a Soul Jazz track breathtaking rich of groove. In this track guitar expresses licks in a space age jazz way and it could be part of a spy movie soundtrack.
The track entitled "Cenere" shows the language variety of this quartet who takes delight in doing an atmospheric and romantic West Coast Jazz like Jimmy Giuffre or Gerry Mulligan's style.
The last track entitled "Vuoto D'Aria" is a fulminate Soul Jazz music with an involving groove.
The Groove Yard is a reality intended to grow up remarkably. "Dj Henry - Milano Mods"
