  • ZERO to 60 in 2 seconds flat. Otis groove just takes you there…..QUICK.
    It’s a jazz trio turned rock trio turned groove trio that’s now an “all of the above” trio. There’s the inevitable comparisons to Soulive (b/c of the identical line up - Hammond B3, Guitar and Drums); sometimes to Medeski Martin and Wood and even the Meters, but we need to say that these three Berklee College of Music grads got their own thing (way!) and that’s precisely why ropeadope signed them up to the old digital label. We feel like we stole ‘em, just like Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the 6th round? Not sure how the rest of the industry slept on Otis Groove until we remembered that there is no longer a music industry! back the day there would have been a good old fashioned bidding war.

    Describe Otis Groove in Spanish in 3 words or less: FUGEGO FUGEGO FUEGO. These guys are so hot that they will rip a new place into the space formerly known as the hole of your ass. NOT A DAMN JAMBAND, this is a collective experiment in crossing the traditional jazz sound, with funk and Hip-Hop rhythms with a sound based in groove, free in improvisation, yet rooted in songwriting, and soulful melodies. Oh really? Yes really. And wait til you seem them live. (fuego fuego fuego).
