Witness for the defence, m'lud! (This is a good Youtube post too, if you want those chords). And here's M.M. with the *other* best voice in Soul... (plus, you can't really go wrong with Nate East and Steve Gadd on bass and drums ). (There's also a nice alternate version of 'Ya Mo B There' with Abe Laboriel on bass, Lee Ritenour on guitar, etc.) Edited August 1, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I used to play along all the time to this album, 'The Aura Will Prevail' (MPS/BASF). Vintage George Duke from 1975. Still some of his best stuff (imo). Alphonso Johnson on bass.

Lord Sausage Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I kind of get wound up about the "Groove" thing. Nowadays i think its just a by-word for funky. Anything can have groove without it being funky. Even sections of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring have good grooves. i think through naivety (tho this doesn't obviously apply to everyone) mid tempo funk/jazz gets described as having a good groove. Though good groove can be at any tempo or genre for example Kashmir by Zep has a fat groove even tho its straighter than straight. Also some really quick stuff like The One or Outta love by Van Halen has a great groove. i ain't just a bitter rocker cos i love funk, jazz and fusion but thats just so obvious to mention. However my example is a James Brown track at a high tempo. Can't get enough of it at the moment and it as a bad donkey groove! It's Let me looose i'm Dr. Feelgood. unfortunately i can't upload my copy so i've included a youtube link. but it has a picture of semi naked men for some reason, tho its the original track jimmy b Edited August 1, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started the post I invited grooves of any genre whatsoever. I personally love funk, hence my choices, but let's see some more obscure examples.

molan Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Here's one of my favourite 'grooves' - love the funky choppy guitar on this : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Here's one! A bit different and quite heavy. Not a funky groove but a groove nevertheless. in terms of drums and bass playing everything together this is a fine example. they hit nearly everything and there is loads of poly rhythms. However tunes is very cheesy rock. So apologies on that level. but the drummer is my favourite. i would rip my pink torpedo off to jam with him! is that a bit extreme! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWCemMy6gpw Edited August 1, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
