Music for Manhattans,martinis,and mimosas, Mar 21 2007
By Amaranth "music fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Groove, a (Audio CD)
"A New Groove" is,so far,Putumayo's best release this year. It can be considered a groovier version of Putumayo's "Euro Lounge" with its artists from Denmark, the UK, Germany, France, and Sweden."A New Groove" takes smooth jazz and gives it a beat,be it reggae,dub,or trip-hop. Emo's dub-flavored "In the Back of the Car" is a perfect opener. Bitter:Sweet's "Dirty Laundry" (which is now being used in ABC promos for "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy")is a tongue in-cheek take on big band. Gabriel Rios' "Unrock" has a sophisticated Latin twist. The Cat Empire (not to be confused with Cat Power) has the hypnotic "Lost Song" and Radio Citizen&Bajka's "Hop" is equally mesmerizing. K-Os and Jehro use the reggae beat in their songs. Thievery Corporation, with Emiliana Torrini (she of the overrated "Gollum's Song" in the "Two Towers" movie) close with the soothing "Until the Morning",as if the album were for a hip nightclub,and this song announced the dawn.
"A New Groove" is music fit for Manhattans,martinis,and mimosas.Unfortunately,it clocks in at only 38 minutes.It's a bit short,but the entire album is pure,jazzy fun."A New Groove" takes jazz and gives it a refreshing spin.

Love It!, Feb 13 2007
By Terri - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Groove, a (Audio CD)
Combining the diverse flavors of Emo, Gabriel Rios, (my favorite--Alice Russell), and many more, a New Groove is an intricate and beautiful fusion of music to simply chill to. The tracks change direction so quickly you hardly ever notice, yet keep you in the groove perfectly.A word of advice to reviewer Christina Roden: Chill out. Bittersweet calling herself a "bad girl" is simply tongue-in-cheek fun which fits perfectly with the upbeat and catchy tempo of "Dirty Laundry."

Fun and funky club or party mix, Sep 1 2007
By R. Kyle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Groove, a (Audio CD)
Trust Putumayo to make Jazz fusion interesting. There were several noteworthy tracks:"Dirty Laundry" got my attention up front. I was wondering where the ABC promo music for the Thursday night programming came from (Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty). Talk about a fun take on big (or shall we call it large) band style. The truthful lyrics about living with a bad boy are great, too.
This was also the first time I'd heard any contemporary German jazz. Radio Citizen's "Hop" has got a great R&B soul revival feel with a guitar riff that gives the arrangement a little teeth.
"Crabbucket" will get you on your feet. I'm adding this to my exercise track, but don't ignore the lyrics. How many of us have been "trying to get down because we're moving up?"
"New Groove" would be a better value for the money if it were a little longer, plus it would have more utility for me as an exercise-dance track. I'd love to hear some African and Celtic jazz on this same vein.
