That album features a compilation of pieces in the styles of New Orleans and west coast rhythms. Magnus Brandell from oddgrooves.com performs all the drum parts. I played all guitars and bass and did occasional keyboard work.

I used many second-line grooves in this album.

Second Line

The “second line groove” is a rhythmic approach used in New Orleans jazz and brass band music. It typically features a syncopated and swinging feel, emphasizing the off-beats and distinctive use of various percussion instruments such as bass drums, snare drums, and cymbals.

In a brass band, the “second line” refers to the people who follow the main parade, dancing and celebrating to the music played by the band. Therefore, the second line groove is a music style meant to get people dancing and moving along with the band.

The rhythmic approach combines traditional African rhythms, European marches, and Caribbean influences. It has been a defining characteristic of New Orleans music for over a century. The use of various percussion instruments adds to the complexity of the groove, with each instrument playing its distinct part and contributing to the overall rhythmic feel.

Overall, the second-line groove is a unique and infectious style of music that has been an essential part of New Orleans’ cultural heritage and a significant influence on many other musical genres.
