About Me |
|
| Greetings! Rafe Gomez here, host/dj of The Groove Boutique , America's first nationally syndicated cool jazz radio mix show. The Groove Boutique features an irresistible blend of chill jazz, acid jazz, nu jazz, old school soul jazz, Latin/Brazilian/bossa, and jazz funk. It's the perfect soundtrack for heading out, hanging in, warming things up, or winding things down.
It's super quick but super cool, as Rafe kicks it old school style on the Yamaha DD55! RAFE GROOVING AT THE L.I. JAZZ FEST - 8/11/07! Rafesta gets his spin + percussion groove on in a big way in this fast-paced, two minute clip!Old school hip-hop video pro Allie Davis (Grand Puba, Leaders Of The New School, Apache Indian, Bahamadia, Mobb Deep, Craig Mack) handled the direction/edits using Rafe's nu bossa hit "Icy". |
