Our Take

Johnny Lytle's latest album, "New And Groovy," has landed like a pineapple-shaped disco ball glittering in the neon lights of a 70s roller disco. Lytle, known for his mastery of the vibraphone, brings his signature mix of jazz, funk, and soul to the table once again, serving up a platter of musical phantasmagoria that is as refreshing as a gin fizz on a hot summer's day.

Tracks like "Funky Village" and "The House Of Usher" transport listeners to a world where the coffee is strong, the beats are stronger, and the vibes are positively lysergic. Lytle's vibraphone work shimmers and sparkles throughout the album, casting a spell that is impossible to resist. It's like being caught in a kaleidoscope of sound, where every twist and turn reveals a new, unexpected delight.

But don't be fooled by the album's playful title - there is real depth and complexity to be found here. Lytle shows off his chops as a composer and arranger, blending genres and styles with the finesse of a master chef creating a culinary masterpiece. From the Latin-infused grooves of "Pedro Strozier" to the heady psychedelia of "Desk job," there is a little something for everyone on this album.

In short, "New And Groovy" is a sonic adventure that will leave you breathless and hungry for more. Johnny Lytle has done it again, proving that he is not just a vibraphone virtuoso, but a musical alchemist of the highest order. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be dazzled - this album is an absolute gem. Count us in for the next roller disco!
