Jazz Funk
Groove isn't explained — it's negotiated with your body.
Jazz Funk is a style from the Smoke and Midnight family. 110 BPM, Weirdness 28, Style Influence 91.
Funky clavinet, slap bass, and tight horns locked into a sophisticated groove. Jazz funk: jazz that put on its bell-bottoms, flavorful, elegant, and overflowing with groove.

Sample excerpt
El bajo entró primero y todos lo seguimos, así se decide en esta banda: por groove. No hay partitura para lo que estamos haciendo, hay una cabeza moviéndose y todos la miramos.
Quédate en el uno, no te salgas, que lo demás se puede adornar después. El funk no se toca, se obedece, y el que se adelanta se queda solo.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, corporal. El jazz funk manda sobre el uno: la letra debe hablar del groove como autoridad. A 110 BPM las frases funcionan mejor con acento en la primera sílaba de cada compás.
