You don’t understand, you don’t until ya don’t…. There’s still hope for you. Groove, ala style of jazz, meaning head/improv/head/end….as well as changing tempo within those changes maybe meaning taking the triplet 8th note feel into straight quarter note feel or vice versa within the tempo set. The tempo changes just help with ways of stretching those sections to obtain more to play over and to try to eventually hit on something dope, play the dopest thing ever for a short second and then bounce out to another section and or tempo feel…. Striving for improvisational freedom and always trying to get to something interesting and new and fresh directly on the fly. Hard things to achieve. Striving for perfection and direction over some basic parameters to guide your way . I’m not sure if that makes sense really but that’s the best I can do right now on the fly 🧐

Keith Carlock…

Johnny's Landing from the To The Stars album

Thanks for mentioning the tune!!!

pfffffffffft.....whatevah

Uhhhh he uses two

@@musopaul5407 absolutely agree !!!

@@musopaul5407 me too ... i said it personally to Dave Weckl after the gig in 2010.

i said that now it´s focused on rebound but in 90´s it was tight and groovy like with Mike Stern and Michel Camilo .... he was fine and answered rationally: "either you like or either don´t" .... but i think the groove and the fills with creativity is always something what catches the ear of the musicians in the audience ...

Who cares? Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

I saw them live in '89, and recorded it with a hand-held mono pocket recorder meant for audio dictation. I still have that damned tape, though long ago I transferred the audio to CD. Crappy quality be-damned - good music is good music :)
