| "It's All About The Groove"
Chad Rager (ray-gr)
is a entertainer that just happens to be a drummer.
When you hear him play, he immediately
evokes memories of two of the greatest. . .
Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.
Chad and his band the Chad Rager Groove
are currently touring in support of his first CD
"21st Century Groove"with Strokeland Records .
The band is performing in large and small
concert venues, corporate events, and playing in
high schools and colleges all across
America as a fundraiser for their music departments.Quotes about Chad and Chad Rager Groove-
"Chad Rager demonstrates solid skills and the ability to
weave an interesting percussive display. He drives,
he floats, and like a preacher, he delivers his "sermon"."The band mixes a variety of moods while introducing
the whole band along the way: soloists, sections,
and of course Chad Rager's driving drums,
as everybody gets a chance to shine"."The horn section often uses lines that are richer and more jazzy versions of Tower of Power horns."Naming the band the "Chad Rager Groove"
reflects the fact that this band is not confined to
traditional big band selections,
but that it is confident enough to venture out
into rock and funk selections as well.The guiding principal of the band is the "groove",
smooth tasteful sounds that appeals to listeners ears.
"Rager's arrangements have reintroduced me to an old friend, only all spruced-up. Familiar, but new.
Loved for its familiarity but appreciated in its new incarnation."A truly impressive performance!"If you enjoy most of the styles that jazz can take,
Rager offers several "flavors" to choose from,
and you won't be disappointed.Chad says-"Every song we select has affected me
in a musical and personal way.
I feel blessed to be able to perform them!"Chad Rager is a Strokeland Records Recording artist. The Chad Rager Grooveis a featured artist on Soul Radio OnlineThe station is focused on Soul, Funk & Jazz from all eras; both familiar and rare. |
