Saxophonist Dan Moretti, bassist Oscar Stagnaro and keyboard artist Matthew Nicoll are all professors at Berklee College of Music in Boston, as well as working professional musicians. Their knowledge of groove-based music is encyclopedic.
Essential Grooves is an essential book for any musician and an invaluable tool for teachers. It is written by three great artists who fully understand the meaning of grooves. I love it and have already put it to use with my own writing. TIM RIES (saxophonist, composer and producer for the Rolling Stones) --personal correspondence
One of the most important strengths an improvisor needs to develop is a strong rhythmic sense. This book and audio gives the player an in-depth look at 41 different grooves recorded with live players in the studio, a virtual boot-camp of styles. The multi-track versions allow you to mute and combine the parts in any way that you want. Long overdue. Wish I had it to practice with way back when... HAL CROOK (professor, Berklee College Of Music) --personal correspondence
Finally! A book about styles that covers all of the important grooves that have influenced contemporary popular music, from the roots of soul, rock and Latin music, all the way to hip-hop. The players on the recording are all well-versed in these styles and I especially like the feature that allows you to create your own play-along versions from the multi-track files contained on the DVD. The scores and background text are a must-have for the contemporary musician and I'll be recommending this one to my students for a long time to come. FRANK POTENZA (head of Studio/Jazz Guitar Department at University of Southern California) --personal correspondence
