Poogie Bell Band bildet darin mit den wilden Einflüssen des Barefoot Jazz und Hip-Hop sowie den fundierten Bass-Lines von Kevin Barefoot eine solide Rhythmusgruppe. Vasquez schnellen und cleveren Gitarrensoli sind durch Alexander's unermüdlich funky Tastatur ein Garant für einen Kopf-Bobbing Spaß.

Einfach ausgedrückt, ihre einzigartige "Funk Jazz Jam" Mischung beinhaltet Groove ohne Ende!
