Notice

- Not an exact copy, but based on the Kenny Dorham standard, which every serious musician should know. - Song timing is "Clave" pronounced clav-ay, extends over 2 bars and is either 2:3 like this one or 3:2. - Practice the bassline with the beat, you certainly won't master the style overnight. I recommend buying a book or DVD on afro cuban or latin music. - I've added extra variations on the bass as well as a host of other goodies. The idea is to work on your own version, not just do a straight cover, you can funk it up and impovise to your hearts content. - Credits to Slashsbluesball and MSB Validator for the tracks from their versions which I've borrowed. - Thanks to my friend Rolo for the drums (which are sadly limited by GP4's poor selection of samples). I will post his brilliant take on the bassline if I get permission (and finish tabbing it). (7/8/2005)
