About
übergrūv'n
The band übergruv is exactly what the name implies - Uber (greatest, highest, most extreme) and Gruv (groovy music that causes spontaneous bodily actions like fingers snappin', toes tappin', hands clappin', and heads bobbin'). They do this by serving up a platter of meaty jazz over bones of rock, drenched with funk sauce, and seasoned at times with Latin spice. Drummer Tom "Boom Boom" Scharlow leads the band, with Jeff "the Ticket" Pickett on keys, Troy "Mr. Funky Nuts" Horton on guitar, Dean "Groove Machine" Athens on bass, and Kevin "Sugar Lips" Flynn on sax and flute. As Flynn explains, "We like to play tunes with a strong melody and add our own improvisations, which are essentially spontaneous compositions, on the fly. Each soloist tells a story by doing this, which can sometimes lead to surprising emotional peaks and exUBERance!". Ubergruv plays jazzy funk in Salt Lake City
