*The EQ of Dedicated Groove Collective is such that it requires no extra boosting of frequencies. Many stereos/iPods/MP3 players boost bass frequencies, which could cause distortion on some systems. Here is the solution: on iPod/MP3 Players, set the EQ to off or flat. Home/Car Stereos, turn down the bass. Thanks for buying Dedicated Groove Collective and happy listening!

What They're Saying About Dedicated Groove Collective
"Those who enjoy the sounds of guitarist Wes Montgomery will find this CD collection a treat, and a highly pleasant listening journey. John Judd performs his own compositions on 7-string guitar with smooth, agile technique. His sound is polished and memorable.

"Conan" and “Obrigado Mae e Pai" will surprise the jazz listening audience with the fresh, innovative concepts and the manner in which each song is musically realized. All songs in the collection are jazz gems!

This is a fine jazz CD collection. There is something special to listen to in every song, and every song has its own creative story to share with the jazz listening audience.

Highly recommended for its fresh, innovative approach. Excellent guitar work by John Judd…"

What They're Saying About Haunted Heart...
"If you enjoy straight-ahead/classic guitar performances, John Judd's Haunted Heart is a classic gem... John Judd is a refreshingly original guitarist... truly one of the most outstanding debut works to appear thus far this year."
-Lee Prosser, Jazzreview.com

"...Judd creates a deep lulling sound with his guitar that embodies the fullness of the arch top and yet remains modern... Judd has chosen great classic tunes, and the trio plays them with a modern sense and fresh arrangements... the John Judd Trio has demonstrated that they have all the right stuff: sound, chops, arrangement and groove. Haunted Heart is worth a listen."
-Eric Elias, Just Jazz Guitar Magazine
