 The Guild\n2828 35th St, Sacramento, CA\n\nWheedle's Groove\n"Wheedle's 
 Groove" is a feature documentary about Seattle's long-lost soul and funk 
 music scene of the 1960s and 70s. With commentary by Seattle notable music 
 figures like Quincy Jones, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Ben Gibbard 
 (Death Cab For Cutie), Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden), Kim Warnick (The 
 Fastbacks) and Kenny G, and using interview footage, archival materials, 
 original music, and live performances, the film paints a picture of a 
 thriving and vibrant music scene centered around the city's small 
 African-American population. \n\nDue to a century of housing discrimination 
 in Seattle, 1972 saw 80% of the city's black population living in a four 
 square mile neighborhood called the Central District, or the C.D. Despite 
 the neighborhood being a product of racism, black-owned businesses, black 
 culture, and black music thrived in the C.D. Groups like Black on White 
 Affair, The Soul Swingers, and Cold, Bold & Together played on the local 
 black radio station KYAC and packed clubs every night of the week. Many of 
 the groups started to receive widespread attention with invitations to 
 perform on national television and to collaborate with mainstream acts. 
 Many were given breaks by Seattle native Quincy Jones, who had become 
 almost a messiah-like figure to local musicians. But just as many of the 
 groups were on the verge of breaking out, the fickle public turned its ear 
 from funk to disco, and Seattle's soul and funk scene slipped into 
 obscurity. \n\n"The best documentary of 2010, 'Wheedle's Groove' is a 
 moving cinematic testament to the pure power of music and not only a 
 tribute to the Seattle soul music scene, but to a time in our nation's 
 not-too-far-off past when it felt for a beautiful minute like America had 
 soul." Michael Simmons, Huffington Post \n
