In music,
groove is the sense of propulsive
rhythmic "feel" or sense of "
swing". In
jazz, it can be felt as a persistently repeated pattern. It can be created by the interaction of the music played by a band's
rhythm section (e.g. drums,
electric bass or
double bass, guitar, and keyboards). Groove is a key of much
popular music, and can be found in many genres, including
salsa,
funk,
rock,
fusion, and
soul.
