Let's dig into one of the many great grooves bestowed upon us by the late Grover Washington, Jr. "Knucklehead" is from Grover's 1975 album FEELS SO GOOD (Kudu) and might just be the funkiest thing ever cut on a true Jazz recording.

Check out the original recording here - https://youtu.be/lXAkxPpOphY?si=LavrrEHZCKoVQQQ9

I'll break down that funky syncopation, why it feels so good, who's sampled it, and introduce you to the amazing supporting cast that was assembled for this recording (including the great bassist Gary King).

Come get some of this groove!
