This would be a good time for one more explanation of what "rare grooves" are. I'm never sure I've gotten it.

I always thought Rare Groove could be taken literally, ie "Those rare records with the groove." Basically obscure dance/groove records...

Piccadilly Records has best-of-2004 for Nu-Jazz and Broken Beathere.

for me rare grooves is oldish stuff, 70s and older. dusty grooves. :) (why dustygrooves.com dont do their faves of a year?)

I kinda figured it meant obscurish late '60s/early '70s funk, usually of a Southern/West Coast bent (usually with "traditional" instruments; no synths, but electric pianos and clavinets are usually OK), and music that sounds like it (think the Dap-Tone label and Sharon Jones).

The Mongo Santamaria and Louie Ramirez on this page might be useful in the rare groove department. (Haven't heard them though.) Maybe too Latin.
