A New Urban Groove featuring Doug Ellington
Doug Ellington, Trumpet, Flugalhorn, Keys
Chazz Alley, Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax, Bass Clarinet
Ricky Carter, Drums
Endika, Double Bass
Henry Westmoreland, Electric bass, Sax, Trumpet
Dana Salzman, Keys, Vocals
Doug Ellington forme en 2003 A New Urban Groove, un mélange de différentes cultures musicales où le jazz rencontre notamment la soul… A travers ce projet, le trompettiste et petit-neveu de Duke Ellington continue de prolonger l’histoire du groove et de la great black music.
The group is founded on the rich jazz tradition of improvisation, and embraces a variety of jazz styles, especially straight-ahead and funk, with some elements of avant-garde and even smooth jazz. Most of the tunes are intricately arranged for the two lead horns, mainly by Ellington, and feature catchy tunes with driving grooves and plenty of room for spontaneous improvisation. In Ellington’s words, « A New Urban Groove was organized not only as an outlet for the expressive musicians who comprise it, but also to provide an alternative for listeners who love the spontaneity of improvised music while still holding value to a rhythmic pulse that will get the toes tapping and the rump shaking. » ~ Jazz Archives
