Editorial Reviews
A. Scott Galloway, URBAN NETWORK MAGAZINE
"East Coast’s best kept secret puts one down for real live music–unfixed in the mix–for a truly organic soul experience."
Product Description
Marlon Saunders, the soulful voice behind 2003's Enter My Mind, hailed by Billboard, Vibe and Straight No Chaser as one of the best soul recordings in recent years, gives us the greatly anticipated A Groove So Deep: The Live Sessions. Unlike most live albums, A Groove So Deep is not a recording of a performance before a screaming audience. For this project, Marlon decided to bring his band, Mood Control, together for a series of sessions in which the musicians experimented with different approaches to favorites from his critically-acclaimed debut release, Enter My Mind, and songs written especially for the new project. From over 14 hours of recorded material, Marlon selected just over 70 minutes to become A Groove So Deep: The Live Sessions.

This review is from: Groove So Deep (Audio CD)
This guy is a Berklee trained vocalist. I first heard him with the group JazzhoIe. He does some very nice work on their most recent CD. I came up listening to all the great soul singers of the 60's and 70's and none of them has anything on Marlon Saunders. I have the studio album, Enter My Mind and it is great, but I am partial to well recorded live albums and this CD makes me want to go hear him live right away. It is raw neo-soul and funk. It is basically a collective partying and jamming live in a studio. A Groove So Deep and Coolin' are my favorite tracks on the CD but they are all slammin'. His band Mood Control sounds great too, real musicians with Marlon sort of directing a la James Brown . Saunders should be much better known than he is.

Soul music with real musicians!,
By James Baldwin "Jimmy" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Groove So Deep (Audio CD)
I loved Marlon Saunders' Enter My Mind, but A Groove So Deep is on another level. This is some raw soul music, where the whole band is together at the same time, not performing for an audience, but vibin' together as musicians. No matter how many times you listen to it, you will hear something new--somethin' cool the vocalists do creating background harmonies, somethin' funky happenin' on the bass or drums, somethin' jazzy on the piano, flute or sax, just the right rhythm on the congas--It may sound strange to say about a contemporary R & B recording, but Groove is actually exciting to listen to...This one's worth the money, because you'll want to play it again and again...just to see what you missed the last time.
