Gerald Wiggins - A Light Groove

Our audio excerpt starts with the melody. There's a four-measure bass and drum intro which is notated in the C treble clef lead sheet. Gerald's title is very descriptive. The melody line starts over the 2-feel bass. After the solo section, which is 4-feel, the out chorus has a different melody for the A section.

We can't find any Amazon or iTunes versions, but YouTube has one.

This is the only recording of this composition. See more historical information accompanying A Fifth For Frank, also on on the same recording session.
