A jazz-funk fusion revival supergroup, Rock Candy Funk Party (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/rock-candy-funk-party-mn0003043420) grew out of an instrumental album recorded by drummer and producer Tal Bergman (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tal-bergman-mn0000134446) and guitarist Ron DeJesus (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ron-dejesus-mn0002151791) in 2007 called Grooove, Vol. 1 (http://www.allmusic.com/album/grooove-vol-1-mw0001226832). The pair played several subsequent live dates at the Baked Potato jazz club in Los Angeles, and encouraged other musicians to sit in, and gradually Rock Candy Funk Party (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/rock-candy-funk-party-mn0003043420) came together from these live sessions, finally settling on a lineup of Bergman (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bergman-mn0000134446), DeJesus (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/dejesus-mn0002151791), bassist Mike Merritt (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mike-merritt-mn0000140457), keyboardist Renato Neto (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/renato-neto-mn0000887731), and, in 2012, guitarist Joe Bonamassa (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joe-bonamassa-mn0000118243).
