    These grooves are awesome. They’re just like you describe – “sun-soaked late 70’s / early 80’s funky, smooth, vibe-y, grooving style”. Thanks!

    OMG – Fantastic!!! Almost every ‘jazzy’ drum packs I see elsewhere are fast, or be-bop. I love almost all kinds of music except for…. BEBOP! THIS is what jazz is to me – laid back late 70’s and 80’s – what many used to call jazz-rock 🙂 Thank you! If you come out with more like these, I would buy a pack in a second. Could also be used with modern laid back Neo-Soul keyboard jams!

      Yeah, jazz-rock or why not yacht-jazz and of course neo-soul. New pack is just around the corner! Full disclosure: I love bebop too 🙂

    Thanks for this. The sample (BeatJazz-110 Bumpy) is great. When do you release the full set?

    As I’ve said before, there’s a big gap in the market for modern jazz even grooves – without the heavy funk back-beat. Think Jeff Ballard, Jorge Rossy, Peter Erskine, Adam Nussbaum, Bill Stewart: Even feel; fusion tempos, intricate ride patterns; snare & sidestick punctuation – but without the heavy funk/rock snare & kick hits. No-one makes that kind of thing: you’d have the market to yourself.
