Groove Collective is a Grammy-nominated contemporary jazz group. In 2007 they were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year for the release People People Music Music on the Savoy Jazz label. Groove Collective was formed in 1990 by Richard Worth, Itaal Shur, Gordon Clay, Genji Siraisi and Jonathan Maron. Saxophonist Jay Rodriguez and percussionist Chris Theberge played in the inaugural gig (at Nell's 14th St NYC), and Fabio Morgera, Bill Ware and Josh Roseman soon joined the fledgling band. After witnessing an early show, producer Gary Katz negotiated the band's signing to Reprise Records, and produced their eponymous debut album in 1993. They scored two minor dance instrumental and adult contemporary hits in 1996 with a cover of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" (US Dance/Club Play #45, US Dance Maxi Singles #23) and "Lift Off" (US R&B/Hip-Hop #73).
