You know the word 'groove' . As a noun it could mean:
A long, narrow channel or depression; such a slot cut into a hard material to provide a location for an engineering component or a tire groove.
A fixed routine.
The middle of the strike zone in baseball, where the pitch is most eaily hit.
A pronounced, enjoyable rhythm.
Translations: verb (groov, ed)
- To create, dance to, or enjoy rhythmic music.
- I was just starting to groove to the band, when we had to leave.
Etymology: From grod.
Our friends at wikipedia.org suggest Groove is: the sense of propulsive rhythmic "feel" or sense of "swing" created by the interaction of the music played by a band's rhythm section.
While some musicians have called the concept of "groove" a subjective and elusive notion, they acknowledge that the concept is well-understood by experienced musicians at a practical, intuitive level.
For me, groove is all over songs like 'Slave' by the Stones, 'Master of Sparks' by ZZ Top and "Fight" by the Tragically Hip.
I'm trying to put together a whole hour of 'groove' for this week's new Legends hour-long show.
Wotcha got to offer???
Cheers,
Jeff.
