Nils’ first full studio album since 2012. And it was worth the wait.
Featuring performances of Johnny Britt, Nate Harasim, Clydene Jackson, Olicer C. Brown, Kathryn Bostic, Darryl Williams, Reggie McBride and the late Ricky Lawson.
True to the title of his latest can’t miss, in the pocket collection of radio-friendly gems and otherworldly sonic delights, guitarist, composer and producer Nils has been happily CAUGHT IN THE GROOVE as one of Smooth Jazz’s premiere hitmakers and producers for over 15 years. Yet for the artist and his usual crew – including horn player and arranger Johnny Britt and vocalist Clydene Jackson – the easy funk flow is merely the launching pad for a multi-faceted experience. Nils complements his trademark crisp pop/soul/funk vibes with more ambient, atmospheric experimentation and deeper jazz musings with master pianist and Rhodes player Mitchel Forman. One listen and you too will be CAUGHT IN THE GROOVE!
Nils’ 2012 release features the chart topping hits “Let’s Bounce” and “Casablanca” and performances of such heavy weights as Darryl Jones, Mitch Forman, Ricky Lawson, Simon Phillips, a duet with Jeff Golub and more.
