- lioeters 5y ago> In _The Jazz Theory Book_, Mark Levine defines playing in the pocket simply as grooving, where the rhythm section is locked in and working as a unit. > in the pocket - When the music is rhythmically in a groove. > groove - The “lock” between members of a rhythm section playing well together.
- potta_coffee 5y ago"In the pocket" has to do with a certain feeling or "groove" that occurs when the bass player and drummer sort of "lock in" (that's my terminology). I definitely know when I'm "in the pocket" but it's one of those things that's difficult to describe.
- MrsPeaches 5y agoIn hiphop culture “in the pocket” means perfectly on the beat.
- bavell 5y agoIn rock it's really tight timing and nailing transitions/fills. At least the way I've heard it used in my circles.
