I was looking online to see what kind of music is "groove music" and this is the first hit I found, on Google. Groove Music: Featuring More Never Before Released Artists from Around the World, Another New Music Compilation Is Presently In Development for Release by Groove Music. This is the same Groove Music you know from live talent search events in LA, SF, NYC and many other places such as Cannes, and which has released subsequent audio & video recordings & broadcasts of many of these legendary jam sessions dating back to 1985. Today, Groove Music is continuing the tradition of searching for tomorrow's biggest stars.

From Wikipedia I got this: In popular music groove, used in the sense of rhythm, is a term for metre and its embellishment by a rhythm section. Richard Middleton (1999) describes, "the concept of groove – a term now theorized by analysts but long familiar in musicians' own usage – marks an understanding of rhythmic patterning that underlies its role in producing the characteristic rhythmic 'feel' of a piece, a feel created by a repeating framework within which variation can then take place." Beyond this generality, the "groove" interpretation technique is widely attributed to James Brown's drummers Clyde Stubblefield and Jabo Starks, traditional Jamaican Reggae and African music, and consists of an interpretation and a syncopation of a binary rhythm in soul music by the rhythm section, even though it has reached many other genres. This particular technique is very well explained and documented in a video from Mike Clark (drums) and Paul Jackson (bass).
