"Seleno Clarke's quintet CD, "Diversity" was produced by George Benson. This extraordinary recording expresses both the roots of Seleno's creative vision and his exhilarating contemporary sound. Seleno always chooses band members who are top-notch improvisers who are as in synch with Seleno's swinging groove as they are fresh in their solo concepts."

The "American Legion" is a Veteran's club and the nicest assembly of people you may find on this planet. Join Seleno Clarke and his Harlem Groove Band Sunday's at 7pm "Get your Groove on, and leave your attitude at the door!" Soulful food and soulful jazz jams. Jazz Forum @ Xing Forums

Time Out NY even featured this super hip party in a cover story:

"Hey, guys. Let's keep the solos shorter, or else we'll be here all night!" Seleno Clarke says with a smile from his perch behind a Hammond B3 organ."

"In recent years, the jazz organ has been making resurgence, and every Sunday night in Harlem, you can hear its sweet swelling sounds in the small brick -walled basement of American Legion Post 398. Here, veteran organist Seleno Clarke hammers his Hammond , leading a free-for-all jam session that draws a diverse mix of musicians and fans from all over the city. Read the full story here:  Link
