'Good Groove' by the Real Latinos is a passionate album. It conveys their devotion for African-American and Latin jazz traditions and testifies to the personal maturing process of these four musicians. Pianist and band leader High De Prime is a master when it comes to creating an epic atmosphere. Drummer Kay Lübke smoothly steers a magic carpet that flies away with the band and their listeners. No obstacle would prevent this quartet from taking off. His cymbals interact with the strings of bassist Jan Roder to create those sensual, club-like vibes that drift through every song. Henrik Walsdorff's saxophone talks, groans, cries and whispers. Contemplation, drum rolls ... sexy ecstasy unfolds when the sticks clack on the snare's edge and those felt slippers pop the dry toms. This album celebrates the integrating groove of today's multicultural Berlin.
