Sam Jones shows you how to take Afro-Caribbean and Latin grooves, from calypso and soca to Afrobeat and songo, and make them work in modern jazz, jam sessions and beyond.
Sam builds a jam-ready toolkit of dancehall, calypso, soca and reggaeton grooves, then shows how they link to Yussef Dayes’ “Grow”.
Afrobeat and Afro-Cuban songo take centre stage, along with the Cuban teacher’s tips and how Justin Tyson’s groove grew out of songo.
Sam turns the 332 pulse into halftime and double-time feels, using JD Beck’s “Moon” and his own tune “Solstice” to show how it all fits together.
A South East London drummer, producer and DJ best known for his work with Mercury-shortlisted saxophonist Nubya Garcia, MOBO winner Binker Golding, and as musical director for Ivor Novello winner Obongjayar. A Tomorrow's Warriors alumnus, Sam blends the grime, UK bass, jazz, reggae and dub of his London upbringing.
