Let It Groove is all about the pocket! The feeling of the chart 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 soloists.

It's time to let your Bari Sax player wail in this catchy rock tune. The changes are a variation on the blues form with a little bit of mixing modes to give it just the right feel to suit the title. Your brass can bop and groove in the background with their subtle hits that set up the melody. This chart is sure to make for an entertaining performance that will be enjoyed by everyone!! Great fun!
