A Hard-Groovin Experience
S. D. Gifford | Washington, DC USA | 11/27/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I just love this CD. I love the way each track blends into the next, creating one continuous groove. While I don't love every track on US-DC, mixed together, I get a real sense of what Washington DC is up to musically--which is unique and sounds very different than, say, Chicago or NYC.
Favorites:
1. "In the Presence of..." This remix really shows off Jette's voice and songwriting ability in a new format.
2. "Wing Tipped Shaker" Full of surprises in every measure: that Dex Dubious is a BEAST!
3. "Keep the Rut Out" Seroya becomes four times her size in this masterfully edited breakdown.
I especially love this CD when getting up on a grey day, or when going for a long drive, as the upbeat jazz and funk rhythms keep me going for the length of the disk. Way to go D.C.!!!"
