O’s Notes: Drummer Tommy Igoe leads the Groove Conspiracy, a large ensemble focused on punchy contemporary jazz tunes that live up to their name. Yes, there’s lots of groove with the likes of Marc Russo (as) and Tom Politzer (ts) stepping out on “Mercy Mercy Mercy” to start what turns into a pulse raising set that you won’t want to miss. “Jazz Crimes”, “Let The Good Times Roll ” & “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was” with vocals from Kenny Washington are other notable selections, all anchored by the pulsating beats from Igoe!
