L.L. Groove is Athens based DJ Lakis ‘soulflower’ Leloudas, who has been plying his trade on the local music scene there for almost 30 years. Now after collecting thousands of records over that time and the ideas that listening to them has inspired he has finally translated them into the full 'Soulflower'.
Released in late October last year on Prominence Records it is an album of predominantly instrumental funky, fresh, jazzed up grooves. You can feel deep rooted love that Leloudas has for classic Hammond heavy, funky jazz from the likes of Brother Jack McDuff, and Lou Donaldson from the finger snapping bumping bass vibe on 'Show Me' to the thriving hipster groove of 'Afro-Funky Popcorn' and 'Tied Up' that is complemented with a sweet sounding double bass rhythm. Further evidence of this love is found with a take on Acid Jazz fave 'Jungle Strut' by Gene Ammons with 'Jungle Tobacco'. The album also has a feel of movie soundtrack in parts especially on 'A Clap' which contains clips from a film or films and in N.O Funk, which sounds like a contemporary Dennis Coffey outing. A great little album of cool grooves to make ya move.
