"Mag's Groove" is the first track from Akiko, Hamilton, Dechter’s album "Equal Time," out June 21, 2019 via Capri Records.

On the album, organist Akiko Tsugura, guitarist Graham Dechter, and drummer Jeff Hamilton form a musical alliance based on a shared passion for swinging and the timeless joys of the classic organ trio. Although these cohorts have worked together before in other ensembles, "Equal Time" fully captures the camaraderie and musical telepathy that they have developed as a team.

"Mag's Groove" is a Tsuruga blues that firmly establishes the band's winning combination of intensity, invention and effervescent swing. We immediately hear what is made clear from the album's start to its finish: this is a bona fide band, not just a meeting of three extravagantly gifted players coming together to stretch out and jam.
