A rather short recording – six tracks at 40 minutes – that for unexplained reasons has been gathering dust since 2017. As the title suggests, the theme is downtempo groove, presented here by American organist Adam Scone and his guitar-sax-vibe-drum quintet on two originals and four covers that are unlikely to make you want to dance but might make you feel comfortably warm and cozy. Standout track is the funkiest version of Tears For Fears’ Shout! you’ve ever heard. Hats off to vibist Tom Beckham – who usually plays a bit more out -- for harmonies so translucent I was questioning what I was hearing. Nice touch.
