Doin' Something

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Soulive; Genre: Jazz

True to the New Groove Jazz ethic, this young Bostonian trio believes the groove's the thing. Neal Evans' warm B3 organ sound, brother Alan's flesh-and-blood drumming, and Eric Krasno's rhythm-driven guitar mesh mightily. Echoes of James Brown's tight funk abound, making a cameo by the JB Horns' Fred Wesley an ideal choice, but traces of hip-hop and drum-and-bass also creep in. A righteous soul machine. B
