Review by James Shortridge

The Groovers Steel Orchestra's self-titled album is a testament to the band's musical prowess and versatility. The album features a range of styles, from traditional calypso to contemporary jazz, all played with the signature energy and precision of the band's steelpan instrumentation.

Tracks like "Pan Night and Day" and "Pan in A Minor" showcase the band's ability to infuse classic calypso melodies with dynamic arrangements and intricate solos. Meanwhile, "Mambo Jambo" and "The Groove" demonstrate the band's ability to take on more modern genres, with lively rhythms and catchy hooks that are sure to get listeners moving.

Throughout the album, the Groovers Steel Orchestra's musicianship is undeniable. The steelpan players are able to coax an astonishing range of tones and textures from their instruments, while the rhythm section provides a solid foundation for the band's playful and inventive improvisations.
