    Press Reviews
    Song: 'Stuck in a Groove' "This combination of an incredibly insistent bass groove, hypnotic acoustic guitar riffs, and subtle rhythmic propulsion grabs you from the get-go. S.F.-based solo artist Geoffrey Cook doesn't quite fit the Jazz genre, but he has nailed this tune. Angry lyrics of disillusionment almost seethe though his breathy near-whispered delivery. I like how he doubles his vocals an octave above throughout the song to good effect. This reminds me of some Jazz/Pop hybrid groups like The Philosopher Kings and Wolfgang Press. You won't be able to get this song out of your head for days after just one listen." Chauncey Canfield, The Rambo Report 1/99
