With ‘Reasons,’ nothing has changed much in Lindsey Webster’s craftsmanship and style; it remains quality soul-satisfying music for grown-ups.

With the lively ‘Lifted,’ Trombone Shorty lifts up people with feel-good music rooted in the 20th century but is the perfect tonic for the 21st century.

The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio’s ‘Cold as Weiss’ doesn’t mess with the soul-funk-jazz formula of maximal instrumental party music straight out of the ‘Mad Men’ era; it’s just adding more of that same sweetness.

The WRD is Robert Walter, Eddie Roberts, Adam Deitch, and though there aren’t any words sung on ‘The Hit,’ there are bountiful hand-made grooves.

“Jimmy’s Groove” is a highly motivating pure groove from the Delvon Lammar Organ Trio, released as a standalone single by Colemine Records.

It’s never too early to explore the music of the bold and talented Gary Bartz. ‘Gary Bartz JID 006’ may well be the perfect starting point.

Released 10 years ago today, ‘Groove Academy’ featured a new twist on Stanton Moore’s regular collaborations with Hammond B-3 and guitar.
