Notes on Second Line Funk (Track 11):

• This groove has a swing sixteenth-note feel.
• Notice how drum groove and organ part hint at the clave, while the bass and guitar play
a syncopated line in octaves.
• There is a one-measure phrase in the drum part; the other instrumental layers play a
two-measure phrase. The drums connect with the other layers at different places in the
phrase.
