Practice notes

Vocal 2-step at its smoothest: the kick skips the third beat and lands on the "a" instead, the rim shuffles in between, and a heavy swing makes the whole bar roll. Play the kicks light — it's a dance beat for singers.

The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
