Residual Groove: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Residual Groove

Residual Groove is a rock/pop group heard in New York City rooms like the Mercury Lounge, where their sets are built for close listening and quick shifts in tempo. They have shared bills with One Time Weekend, placing them in a scene that values tight ensemble playing over big-stage effects. The band’s approach favors clear hooks and steady rhythm work, with arrangements that leave space for the vocals to land. Live, they keep the focus on the songs and the dynamics between players.
