Let It Groove

This jazz-rock original is all about the groove! The feeling is reminiscent of Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man or Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. The bass line is anchored to the bass drum pattern, and the enclosed rhythm exercises are an excellent tool for creating a cohesive rhythmic concept throughout the band. The solo section is a 12-bar Bb blues and can be opened up to include several solos. Put your young jazzers in the groove with this excellent chart!
