Richard "Groove" Holmes. Biography by Alex Henderson. Great jazz organist who developed a strong, swinging style with powerful basslines and a superb harmonic and melodic edge.

Groove" is the debut led by organist Richard "Groove" Holmes recorded in 1961 and released on the Pacific Jazz label. In addition to Holmes' appealing organ and McCann's typically funky piano, a major bonus is the brilliant playing of tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, whose tone was at its most gorgeous during this period". Them That's Got" (Ricci Harper) - 6:20. That Healin' Feelin'" (Les MCCann) - 5:35.

Holmes acquits himself well, if with few surprises, on this trio session with Billy Jackson on drums and either George Freeman or Earl Maddox on guitar. The organist shows his ur capabilities on the frantic opener "Speak Low," but hits a more sensitive groove for "Blue Moon," and gets close to an R&B mood on the longest cut, the eight-minute "The Walrus. This has been reissued with another 1968 session, That Healin' Feelin', on the single-disc Prestige CD Legends of Acid Jazz.
