Tight trio material from the legendary Richard Groove Holmes – caught live at Count Basie's Nightclub in Harlem, working hard and heavy with a trio that features Gene Edwards on guitar and George Randall on drums! This live set is the kind of record that beautifully shows why Groove was so popular with live audiences in the 60s – because he can burn all night long, with no tricks, no gimmicks, just a straight-on soul jazz groove and some amazing work on the Hammond! Most cuts are pretty long – and there's some great groovers on here like Gerald Wilson's "Blues For Yna Yna", a cover of "Girl From Ipanema", Jimmy Heath's "Gemini", and Groove's own "Living Soul". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Good
- A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
- Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
- In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

I'm In The Mood For LoveFlying Dutchman, 1976. Near Mint-
Quite a different album than you might expect from the title and cover – which seem to imply a set of late nite ballads! Instead, the album's got fuller arrangements and a more upbeat groove – that larger ensemble mode that some organists were using in the mid 70s – as on the ... LP, Vinyl record album

GroovePacific Jazz, 1961. Very Good
An early cooker from Richard Groove Holmes – and one of the most important Hammond jazz sets to come out of the west coast at the time! At a point when most folks think the east has a lock on the instrument, Groove bursts forth here with a great hard-edged sound – proof that the LA ... LP, Vinyl record album

Super SoulPrestige, 1967. Very Good+
A great little album – one that features Groove playing in front of larger arrangements from Chess Records soul maestro Richard Evans – in a style that has the swinging power of some of Evan's best soul and jazz work at the Chicago label, and which makes for a slightly different ...

Richard Groove Holmes
That Healin' Feelin'Prestige, 1968. Very Good+
A real killer from Hammond giant Richard Groove Holmes – the kind of 60s smoker that showed that he could take just about any song and turn it into a real workout for the organ! The group is great too – a sharp quartet with Rusty Bryant on tenor, plus a rare alto appearance on one ... LP, Vinyl record album
Rusty Bryant
Fire EaterPrestige, 1970. Very Good+
A monster – and one of the best jazz funk albums ever on Prestige! Rusty Bryant blows his top off on this one – taking his tenor stylings out of the more staid R&B mode of earlier years, working with some younger heavy funk jazz players to craft a brilliant album of long searing ...

Jack McDuff
Brother JackPrestige, Early 60s. Very Good+
Hard hitting R&B organ tracks from the early years of Jack McDuff! The tracks show Jack just getting past the stock jukebox sound of his "Honeydripper" hit, and pushing into a realm that's a lot more lively, jazzy, and filled with his own unique touches. The group's a quartet, with ... LP, Vinyl record album
Mal Waldron
One & Two (Mal One/Prestige, Late 50s/1976. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Mal Waldron's first two records for Prestige – Mal One and Mal Two – are among some of the finest records that the label put out in the late 50's. They're also some of Waldron's most compelling work, and they have a sharpness that's often missing from his later stuff, which usually ... LP, Vinyl record album
Oliver Nelson
Screamin' The BluesNew Jazz/Prestige, 1960. Very Good+
One of the most open-ended and laidback records ever from Oliver Nelson – a set that gets away from the tighter arrangements of other albums, and really lets you concentrate on his saxophone work! The album's got a really wonderful feel throughout – easygoing and soulful, with work by ... LP, Vinyl record album
Gene Ammons
Big Bad JugPrestige, 1972. Near Mint-
Jug's big and bad here in tone – and the style is nicely complicated at times – a bit more open-ended and electric than before, with a sound that's almost like the shift that Stanley Turrentine was making during his years at CTI! There's still a bit of the previous Prestige funk in the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gene Ammons Story – The 78 EraPrestige, Early 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
An excellent overview of Ammons' early years at Prestige – back when he was recording mostly 78s for the label, and king of the jukebox scene! The sides vary between bop, swing, and a bit of rougher R&B styled tunes – and players include Sonny Stitt, Duke Jordan, Benny Green, Bill ... LP, Vinyl record album
Miles Davis
Relaxin' With The Miles Davis QuintetPrestige, 1956. Good
One of the classic early Miles Davis & John Coltrane sessions for Prestige – a well-crafted quintet album that shows Miles finding a stronger voice than ever, and Coltrane beginning to emerge as a key force on his own! Backing is subtle and soulful – handled by the trio of Red ... LP, Vinyl record album
