A. Scott Galloway, URBAN NETWORK MAGAZINE
"East Coast’s best kept secret puts one down for real live music–unfixed in the mix–for a truly organic soul experience."

Product Description
Marlon Saunders, the soulful voice behind 2003's Enter My Mind, hailed by Billboard, Vibe and Straight No Chaser as one of the best soul recordings in recent years, gives us the greatly anticipated A Groove So Deep: The Live Sessions. Unlike most live albums, A Groove So Deep is not a recording of a performance before a screaming audience. For this project, Marlon decided to bring his band, Mood Control, together for a series of sessions in which the musicians experimented with different approaches to favorites from his critically-acclaimed debut release, Enter My Mind, and songs written especially for the new project. From over 14 hours of recorded material, Marlon selected just over 70 minutes to become A Groove So Deep: The Live Sessions.

The power and at the same time the magic of A Groove So Deep is.......2006-08-12

A Groove So Deep: the live sessions is Marlon Saunders' second solo album. His first critically acclaimed album "Enter My Mind" was realeased in 2003. A Groove So Deep is a selection of live recordings where Marlon and his band Mood Control go as deep into the groove as their musical spirits and wits take them. And that's very deep in the heritage of black music.
A Groove So Deep contains thirteen tracks full of jazz, soul, funk and emotions. Five of them you'll recognize from "Enter My Mind" while Love Philosophy has previously been recorded with Jazzhole.The track Declaring Love might remind some of you of a superb edition of Soul and The City ,a column Marlon writes for SaveOurSoul.nl, which also has a spoken version for the radio broadcast. The power and at the same time the magic of A Groove So Deep is that it creates the feeling that Marlon and his wonderful musicians of Mood Control are giving a private concert, because you do not hear a screaming live audience on this CD.The only one(s) screaming and singing along will be you and your company while listening to these live sessions.(TA)

Stand Out Tracks: Afro Blue My Mind, I Wanna Get Next To You, The Beginning Of Never, A Groove So Deep, Love Philosophy, Declaring Love, Inspiration, Coolin'

Wow!.......2006-03-29

This guy is for real. I came up listening to all the great soul singers of the 60's and 70's and none of them has anything on Marlon Saunders. I have the studio album, Enter My Mind and it is great, but I am partial to well recorded live albums and this CD makes me want to go hear him live right away. I hope somebody brings him to Seattle soon. He is not well known out here so I would recommend he try to play something like Bumbershoot, the Labor Day music festival where a lot people would be able to hear him. A Groove So Deep and Coolin' are my favorite tracks on the CD but they are all slammin'. His band Mood Control sounds great too, real musicians.

A Rare find.......2005-10-25

I love Marlon Saunders and I especially love this new CD. I loved his first CD Enter My MInd but this live joint is amazing. I saw Marlon live with his band a few weeks ago at the Cutting Room in NYC with Angela Johnson. It was so amazing to see him live. He is so beautiful and sexy and he sang my favorite song Inspiration! If you want to hear good soul music then look no further. He is soul music's biggest star. I love you Marlon.

What a Soul CD should sound like!!!!.......2005-09-05

Marlon Saunders-Groove So Deep just raise the bar even higher Live Real Soul Music is slowly coming back..support this cd and you will truly enjoy every cut

Soul music with real musicians!.......2005-08-14

I loved Marlon Saunders' Enter My Mind, but A Groove So Deep is on another level. This is some raw soul music, where the whole band is together at the same time, not performing for an audience, but vibin' together as musicians. No matter how many times you listen to it, you will hear something new--somethin' cool the vocalists do creating background harmonies, somethin' funky happenin' on the bass or drums, somethin' jazzy on the piano, flute or sax, just the right rhythm on the congas--It may sound strange to say about a contemporary R & B recording, but Groove is actually exciting to listen to...This one's worth the money, because you'll want to play it again and again...just to see what you missed the last time.
