  Hi Rhythm Section - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hi Rhythm Section was the house band for hit soul albums by several artists, including Al Green and Ann Peebles, on Willie Mitchell's Hi Records label in the 1970s.
The Hi Rhythm Section's distinctive, warm, swirling soul sound was a major ingredient in the success of the label through the 1970s.
Three members of the Hodges musical family played guitar, organ and bass for the group; their naturally closeknit, familial warmth brought a unique, intuitive groove to the group's sound.

First, most directors do not play rhythm section instruments, and instrumental methods courses do not address the special needs of the instruments used in the jazz rhythm section.
A practical technique for rehearsing the rhythm section is to choose a short excerpt where the rhythm section is playing a basic groove and to perform it as a vamp.
When all parts have been added, have the rhythm section play the vamp for at least 32 total bars (16 times through a two bar vamp or 8 times through a four bar vamp).

 Willie Clayton - Biography - AOL Music
Like his older Windy City compatriots Otis Clay and Syl Johnson, the young singer ended up contracted to Hi Records in Memphis, where he worked with producer Willie Mitchell and the vaunted Hi rhythm section.
Hi issued a series of fine Clayton efforts on its Pawn subsidiary, including "I Must Be Losin' You," "It's Time You Made Up Your Mind," and "Baby You're Ready," but none of them hit.

 THE RHYTHM METHOD
In my humble opinion, a good rhythm pattern consists of three elements: the pattern itself, the sounds, and the speed at which the pattern is played.
And even though many contemporary (with a small c) rhythms are driven by programmers rather than drummers, the three core instruments of the drum kit - that's the bass drum, snare and hi-hat - still remain the key elements in virtually all rhythm tracks.
The final point to mention is that all these rhythms were created using bog-standard sounds from a GM sound module, simply because that way I can ensure that I'm programming stuff that anyone can relate to.
