This album was the vintage rock heads response to the contemporary sounds of Jazz Funk Fusion and Boogie. Adapting to the tastes of the times - as well as their own maturing musical sensibilities - Grotto started transitioning from psych rock towards sleeker more dancefloor-friendly grooves. “As I grew older I think I got a bit jazzier” Benson says. “I also listened to Curtis Mayfield James Brown Isley Brothers Prince and a lot of funk groups from that era.” “Hard rock was the content of the first album” Amenechi agrees “and funk / jazz / R&B the focus of album number two. Especially with the late Toma Mason Jr. joining as bassist.” The group’s second album ‘Grotto II: Wait… No Hurry’ (released in 1979) reflected the growing sophistication of its members’ musical outlook. Fat funky bass grooves rubbed shoulders with jazzy flute lines; space-age synthesizer tones punctuated good old-fashioned crunchy rock riffs. A favourite of DJs worldwide.
