Groove Connection

Internationally renowned authors, musicians and recording artists, Frank Villafranca and Andrew D. Gordon of The Super Groovers have composed a collection of grooves and melodies in the Smooth Jazz Genre creating an exciting supplemental jazz study series for beginner, intermediate and advanced jazz students and musicians. After releasing their first CD Supergroovin, which received world wide airplay, they recognized a need in the music publishing business for a series of books on contemporary improvising within the 'Smooth Jazz' genre. Andrew composed and recorded all the rhythm tracks used in thisbook. In their opinion, the melodies were so catchy they couldn't resist developing them into completed songs. Mainline Connection, Villefranche& sur-Mer and You're The Only One In My Life, are a few featured on their second CD, Mainline Connection. The smooth jazz grooves in this 50 page book feature a variety of contemporary rhythm section styles including R& B, Jazz, Funk, Top 40, Rock, Gospel, Hip Hop and Latin. These stylistic influences are frequently associated with smooth jazz. Popular artists in this genre include, The Super Groovers, David Sanborn, Eric Marienthal, Kenny G, David Benoit, Dave Koz, Tom Scott, Gerald Albright, Candy Dulfer, Wilton Felder, Boney James, Chris Botti, Chuck Mangione, Sade, George Benson, Peter White, Lee Ritenour, Earl Klugh, Larry Carlton, Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson, George Duke, Paul Hardcastle, Joe Sample, Spyro Gyra, Pat Metheny, Four Play, The Yellow Jackets and The Rippingtons. We suggest that you become acquainted with as many of these artists as possible. On each of the 20 tracks, the groove is separated into 3 melodic ideas. Each melodic idea (example or riff) is played first, by the Flute with the groove, followed by just the rhythm section groove, without the Flute. The 1st example is usually the easiest, the 2nd slightly harder and the 3rd the most difficult. Versions for each groove are available as midi files or extended MP3 files where the rhythm tracks for each groove are recorded for approximately 2 / Jazz / Recueil / Flûte Traversière

Par SCHAARS PETER KLEINE. The idea behind The Groove Makers is that all musicians, regardless of training or musical taste, can play together if they all keep the same ‘groove. ’ This inspired Peter Kleine Schaars to write a piece everyone would enjoy and to give the concert band a trendy ‘groove’ that the audience can really connect with. / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Cette méthode est destinée aussi bien aux bassistes qu'aux batteurs et a pour but de les aider à jouer ensemble dans presque tous les styles de musique majeurs : Rock, Blues, Funk, Rhythm ?n? Blues, Jazz, Disco/Dance, Reggae, musiques latines, etc. Vous trouverez donc une foultitude de rythmes et de grooves qui, s'ils peuvent être étudiés en solo, ont avant tout pour objectif d'être utilisés au sein d'un groupe, ou au moins d'un duo basse / batterie, sur scène, en studio ou tout simplement en répétition, entre amis. Chaque exemple propose la ligne de basse, ainsi que la ligne de batterie juste en dessous, ce qui permettra de toujours pouvoir situer son propre instrument par rapport à l'autre. Les rythmes pourront ainsi être suivis et analysés plus facilement par les deux parties. Pour chacun des styles, le travail portera tout d'abord sur des patterns d'una seule mesure, puis deux...avant d'aborder des grooves plus longs et plus complexes.Pour mettre tout cela en application, il ne vous restera plus qu'à prendre des grilles d'accords qui vous sont propres ou que vous appréciez et à utiliser la ou les patterns qui vous intéressent sur ces progressions. Sur le CD, vous trouverez les exemples de la basse à la gauche et ceux de la batterie à la droite. Avec une balance en position centrale, vous profiterez des deux instruments ensemble!
