On Monday November 3rd the O'Dowd Jazz Band was thrilled to have Frank Martin stop by to do a clinic on rhythm and groove. Frank is a distinguished alumnus of O'Dowd. As a keyboardist, arranger, and producer, he has an amazing resume including work with the likes of Sting, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Madonna! A down to earth person, he
showed the students his unique approach to the groove of music using body movements and
syllables based on animal names. Mr. Martin really opened everyone's eyes to the fact that no great music can be made without a good groove!
