Global Groove is a practical rhythm compendium. Rolf Zielke, longstanding lecturer at the renowned Berlin Jazz Institute, introduces the world of uneven metres through 40 pieces from around the world and specially composed jazz pieces. Demo, play-along and exercise tracks of all titles whet the appetite for improvising and arranging in unusual metres. The carefully produced mp3-CD, with the author at the piano and Mustafa Boztüy on percussions, revives even complex grooves.
