Groove Galaxi's debut album (2001) was characterized as a journey to the galaxi
but the band did not know which way to use. With this album, Groove Galaxi
took away this uncertainty: The artists have found their style, taking us by
surprise. No Medeski, no groove, no, it's the great Miles Davis who has made
his mark on them. Not do they simply copy Miles (which should be nearly
impossible), but developped their own distinctive sound. They set up musical
contrasts to the genius Davis. Markus' organ play is remarkable, as it fits
exactly in this scheme of a "galactic Miles" - which you will hardly find elsewhere
in the jazz organ scene.
