The Groove hat 5:30 is just wow !

[@FresnoJoe2]

Smooth ~ With Fire~!

[@junulock]

Man this whole group is just rocking this song. Absolutely amazing.

[@k4n1023]

According to Tommy Igoe's definitions from his groove essentials, I believe he is playing a Soca and then a Songo. Some would interpret it slightly different and say that's a calypso groove instead of a soca. They both come from Trinidad, you can read more by searching "Soca Music", "Calypso Music", and the like on Wikipedia.

[@jktang4084]

Amazing tune! What kind of background was this song created in? I really want to learn about it~~

[@jordantalty8606]

Also the chart has samba written in.

[@cmrjazzmail]

What mouthpiece does rob Middleton use?looks like something by Morgan.....

[@TheGrubification]

Besides tommy, I love the piano player from Georgia, and most importantly, GLENN DREWES!

[@TheMrsrt8]
