Big Dipper by Drop Trio Drop Trio : Big Dipper.
 Groove-oriented organ-based funk jazz trio.

Deliciously mathy structures overlaid with highly original, funk-tinged instrumental grooves are what you'll get on the perennial Magnatune jazz best-seller, Big Dipper by the award-winning Drop Trio. This group thrives on improvisation and is influenced by avant-garde jazz, so the overall vibe here is loose, but the chops here are tight and the structure is never neglected, so the overall effect is pretty darn airtight. This is a great album to put on in the afternoon while you're working, or in the evening when you're ready for happy hour. It's upbeat yet just mellow enough too, it'll keep you moving forward without dragging you down.
