What is Groove

Groove

In music, groove is the sense of propulsive rhythmic “feel” or sense of “swing”. In jazz, it can be felt as a persistently repeated pattern. It can be created by the interaction of the music played by a band’s rhythm section (e.g. drums, electric bass or double bass, guitar, and keyboards).

Ask a musician what groove means and the reply would probably be that it relates to the rhythmic feel of a piece of music, how the individual parts or layers of the music, particularly the instruments of the rhythm section, interlock and interact with each other to create a unified rhythmic effect – the groove.
