Funk and its infectious style, remains a popular part of the music we listen to today. Timeless recordings from such artists as James Brown, The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, The Meters, The Crusaders, Brecker Brothers, The Average White Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Tower of Power, Prince, The Blackbyrds, Manu Dibango, Maceo Parker, Junior Walker & the All Stars, and many more, continue to enjoy massive popularity and have had a major influence on contemporary music styles, such as Hip-Hop, Rap and R&B.
The saxophone in Funk music has its place not only in the Horn sections so often heard in this genre but also as a dynamic solo instrument. This book contains 92 riifs that showcase the different ways in which the soloist can create a distinct Funk sound to their playing. The audio files that comes with the book contains 31 different grooves that accompany each of the riffs, influenced by the aforementioned artists, and covers a wide range of different Funk styles from the mid-sixties to the present day. The book is intended for the musician who wants to practically develop their playing style and improvisation technique in this genre.
Also available Rhythm tracks (approx. 3 min long) for each of the 31 Grooves from the Ultimate Funk Grooves series enabling you to practice the riffs or to improvise, over an extended period of time.

Review of the book by the Int'l. Association of Jazz Educators
Ultimate Funk Grooves for Tenor Sax and Bb Instruments is a dynamic rhythm patterns book for learning some of the funkiest licks. This book contains 92 riffs that showcase the different ways in which the solist can create a distinct Funk sound to ones playing. The audio CD that comes with the book contains 31 different grooves that accompany each of the riffs, influenced by James Brown, The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, The Meters, The Crusaders, Brecker Brothers, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Average White Band, Junior Walker and others. There’s a really hip discography covering James Brown through Maceo Parker in 2005and 25+ other artists well. I like the procedure of each lick being played twice. First time is by the saxophone only and the second time by the entire rhythm section without the saxophone. The difficulty of the licks are basically level IV for intermediate and advanced players. There’s some good preface instruction provided on the notation, alternative fingerings, further practice and bonus materials with additional grooves and 17 extra riffs that were not able to include in the book that are available for free download in .MP3 and PDF file formats from http://www.adgproductions.com.
