Groove
by Miles H. Rost
Vladimir and his band had everything ready within a minute of taking the stage. No need to tune, as it was already done.
This was Festival Saturday. This was their time to shine, as a new band with something his region never thought they’d ever hear.
With a nod, Bruska smashed the cymbals and broke into his steady 4 beat. Mariska joined at the same time, gliding over the Yamaha DX-7 with funky flair. Duma’s Nile Rodgers style guitar lick meshed with Vlad’s bass plucks, creating a groove pocket that was unmistakable.
The influence of American jazz and fusion had arrived.
Groovy groovy….
I was actually inspired on this by how Tesla Boy did their work in Russia. They had a revival of 80s synth pop, and I figured doing something with Funky Fusion and Jazz would work beautifully.
Thats a lovely combination….
I could almost hear them! Nice one.
Here’s mine!
I had them somewhere in Kazahkstan, as it’s probably one of the countries that’d be ready for stuff like this.
Nicely told. Even though I’m not a fan, I understand all the musical references 🙂
If you get the references, that’s all you need. The song is actually one I use a lot when I’m processing claims (my actual job).
Had to arrive sooner or later
It always does. Kind of like how bluegrass made it to Japan in the early 2000s.
