A groove-oriented jazz organ quartet, saxophone, guitar, organ, and drums, formed in 2010 by oxford guitarist pete oxley, who also founded the city's long-running spin jazz club. The band takes its name and concept from michael brecker's celebrated 1999 album, playing original compositions alongside pieces by brecker, steely dan, wes montgomery and eddie harris. Their sound sits squarely in the swinging, blues-inflected 'groove' corner of jazz.
