Groove Garden is a musical salute to California and the complex rhythms of South America. Half of Groove Garden was recorded in Brasilia, Brazil with Oswaldo Amorim on bass, Serge Frasunkiewicz on piano, and Moises Alves on trumpet. The NYC ensemble features Peruvian trumpet player Gabriel Alegria, Brazilian bassist Eduardo Belo, Manu Koch of Switzerland, and Todd Isler on drums and hand percussion, plus Urbano Sanchez and Freddie “Huevito” Lobaton on congas, cajon, and misc. latin percussion.
Jenny Hill's third CD, the Chill Factor, features her original compositions and a few standards, played by Jenny on saxes and flute, Jerome Harris on bass guitar, Stefan Bauer on vibraphone, Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, and Todd Isler on drums and percussion. The grooves are drawn from the Northeast of Brazil, West Africa, and modern jazz.
