Described as a "genre-bending groove machine", and with its reboot of classic '70s /'80s jazz-funk, Rock Candy Funk Party (RCFP) delivers a sound that's as celebratory as the name suggests. Powered by a line-up of world renowned players including album producer Tal Bergman (drums), Joe Bonamassa (guitar), Ron DeJesus (guitar), Mike Merritt(bass), Renato Neto (keys), and Daniel Sadownick (percussion), the band came together for the sheer fun of making music, and a mutual love of genre-blurring grooves.

"Rock Candy Funk Party Takes New York - Live At The Iridium" features eight live renditions of original tracks fromWe Want Groove that mash up funk, jazz, and rock with virtuoso musicianship, as well as four cover songs includingMr. Clean (Weldon Irvine), One Phone Call (Miles Davis) and two by Herbie Hancock - Heartbeat and Steppin' In It.
