Rare groove is music that is very hard to source or relatively obscure.[1] Rare groove is primarily associated with funk, R&B and jazz funk, but is also connected to subgenres including jazz rock, reggae, Latin jazz, soul, rock music, northern soul, and disco.[2] Vinyl records that fall into this category generally have high re-sale prices. Rare groove records have been sought by not only collectors and lovers of this type of music, but also by hip hop artists and producers.[3]
Online music retailers sell a wide selection of rare groove at more affordable prices, offering fast downloads in digital format.[4] This availability and ease of access has brought about a resurgence of the genre in recent years.[4]
