  • Groove Me New Jack Swing Feel
    GROOVE ME NEW JACK SWING FEEL Original Recording Profile Recording Artist: Guy Drummer: drum machine Original Album: Guy Record Label: MCA Recording Date: 1988 Recorded at various studios throughout the New York and New Jersey area Historical Overview This tune set a new precedent when it first hit the airwaves in 1988. It featured this ridiculously funky and utterly infectious groove. The drum beat itself was the main attraction of the song and was deceivingly not as simple as it sounded. This song was produced by Teddy Riley, a pioneer and innovator of a new sound that was dubbed new jack swing. New jack swing was a style of R&B music that combined ol’ skool soul vocals and harmonies with rap interludes to bring about a fusion of old and new music. It had the swing factor of jazz music with the fat backbeat associated with funk. The swingy feeling was most often felt in the arena of the drum machine-programmed percussion, bass drum, and hi-hat parts. In essence, the music was swing funk with modern production and recording techniques that made use of one of its newest tools, the drum machine. Because many of the people that were programming the machines were not drummers themselves, they didn’t consider whether any of us mere humans could play the groove in a live situation when called upon to do so later. This put incredible new demands on drummers that were sometimes a bit overwhelming. But if you were willing to stretch the limits of your playing and get out of your comfort zone, this era was a great opportunity to experience new growth.
