If you like modern jazz, you need to give these guys a listen. Based out of Richmond, VA. MGS made it into the top 5 in the 2003 Independent Music Awards, voted best Jazz Band in the 2004 VA Music Awards and received the 2007 Pollack Award, just to name a few of their many accomplishment. Vessel, their sophmore release recieved heavy air play on many national and international stations and held a spot in the top 5 on Beyond Jazz(XM) for many weeks. " 'musician' is a word and a concept that oozes from every bead of sweat the members of this Richmond quartet leave on stage. This greatly matured incarnation of Modern Groove Syndicate has produced a brilliant album [Vessel] that ranges in flavor from jazz to dub and from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Sesame Street while never losing touch with its foundations in the steamy funk of New Orleans." - JAMBANDS.COM http://www.moderngroovesyndicate.com/
