Four years after the success of Groove du Jour, named best album of the year in 2019 by the French Academie du Jazz, Yes! Trio is finally back!

Among the first boogaloo hits was Mongo Santamaria's recording of Watermelon Man in 1962. Over time, the music evolved from infectious rhythm-fueled riffs built on catchy pop phrases ...
