"Groove Mode" was written and produced by Cedric "Cnote" Buard, who also plays drums and keys and features Bach Norwood on Bass, Gary Delvecchio on horns, Ashley Westgate on vocals, and Dave Bunger on guitar. The music has been described as "Southern Paul Hardcastle with a twist". The musicianship alone on this cd is impeccable. Combine that with relaxing vocal melodies and sensual female vocals, and you have the formula for great smooth jazz. The cd contains 19 total tracks and includes the vocal editions as well as the instrumental edition together for one low price.
