Sade Adu is one of the jazzy voices on stage from ’80: great presence (even if too ‘cool’) and some of the coolest tunes in 80-90 music. Singer and songwriter, she’s also a producer and an actress. In the pdf file i’ve transcribed some grooves from her hits: Smooth operator, Nothing can come between us, The sweetest taboo, Your love is king. Are interesting, simple, 2 bar grooves good for an easy play with band or practice.
