1	Misty (1965) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes In the mid-'60s, organist Richard "Groove" Holmes had a hit with his medium-tempo rendition of "Misty." This CD reissue has the original short version (which was cut as a 45) plus other medium-tempo ballads performed in similar fashion. Holmes and his trio (featuring guitarist Gene Edwards and drummer George Randall) play enjoyable if not overly ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $10.35!
2	Groove's Groove (1977) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes When 32 Jazz acquired the Muse catalogue in the late 1990s, the New York label had a goldmine of hard bop, post-bop and soul-jazz to reissue. Organ combos were one of Muse's strong points, and the company generally did right by Richard "Groove" Holmes, who signed with Muse in the 1970s and stayed there up until his death from a massive heart ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
3	Soul Message (1965) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Organist Richard "Groove" Holmes hit upon a successful formula on this Prestige session (reissued on CD in the OJC series), mixing together boogaloo rhythms with emotional solos. His double-time version of "Misty" became a big hit, and the other selections, including Horace Silver's "Song for My Father" and a pair of soulful originals, are in a ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
4	Giants of the Organ Come Together (1973) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff & Groove Holmes see all copies from $6.74! new only from $6.74!
5	Timeless (2003) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes This edition of Savoy's Timeless series delves into cuts taken from Richard "Groove" Holmes' albums Blues All Day Long and Broadway, originally recorded for the Muse label. These nine tracks have been remastered using 24-bit digital transfers from the original acetates and tape masters. Hearing these tracks freshened up is a pleasure and should ... see all copies from $3.17! new only from $10.76!
6	Jazz That Swings, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Although this is a nice little potpourri of tracks from different artists loosely grouped together around the late '90s swing craze, there's nothing on here that falls into the usual "Sing Sing Sing"-Louis Prima outline. Instead, the collection simply offers tracks that really swing in the truest, finger-snapping sense without being informed by ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.95!
7	Giants of the Organ in Concert: The Complete Concert (2004) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff & Groove Holmes see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
8	Blue Break Beats, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note released the two-volume Blue Break Beats compilation in the early '90s. The music on Blue Break Beats dates from the late '60s and early '70s, when a large portion of Blue Note's soul-jazz artists began experimenting with funk and rock, creating dense electric fusions that concentrated on rhythm, not improvisation. None of this music has ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
9	The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
10	Groovin' with Jug (1961) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes with Gene Ammons Ironically, Gene "Jug" Ammons tended to be critical of organists; he was quoted as saying that "organ players don't know any changes." However, as critical the Chicago tenor saxman might have been of organists -- most of them, anyway -- he did some of his best work in their presence. When you united Ammons with Jack McDuff, Johnny "Hammond" Smith ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
11 view cover	Book of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1964) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes This 1964 date pairs organist Richard "Groove" Holmes with an uncredited studio big band for a set of funky steamers. Onzy Matthews arranged and conducted the band that overdoes it in extremis, making it all sound overly dramatic and cheesy. Holmes, however, was in fine form here and his performance is flawless. Readings of "See See Rider," "Your ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $8.60!
12 view cover	Jazz for the Open Road [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This single CD (a 1998 reissue) has ten selections taken from the Muse and Landmark catalogs of the 1970s, '80s and early '90s. The ten selections all feature different straight-ahead jazz players, and reissue producer Joel Dorn considers each of the performances ideal to listen to while driving, although obviously one can enjoy these sounds while ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.95!
13 view cover	Dancing in the Sun (1977) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
14 view cover	Autumn Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists 32 Jazz's second "seasonal" sampler, Autumn Jazz gathers accessible, mostly soul-jazz cuts that, collectively, attempt to convey the colorful cool of the fall season. Whether they fit the feeling or not depends on how autumn makes you feel, but it's unquestionably an infectious compilation, featuring music by heavyweights like Eddie Harris, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.79!
15 view cover	Groove (1961) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes with Ben Webster When the participants on this CD reissue gathered together in March 1961, it was with the objective of recording a Les McCann vocal album. However, the band had such a good time during their warmup that McCann and the others agreed that it would be a crime to waste the opportunity. Organist Richard "Groove" Holmes, whom McCann had recently ... see all copies from $19.63!
16 view cover	American Pie (1972) more music like this by Groove Holmes The soulful American Pie pairs Groove Holmes with electric pianist Larry Willis, suggesting a more nuanced and restrained interpretation of the organ/electric piano formula that energizes Holmes' Blue Note classic Comin' on Home. Ably supported by guitarist Gerald Hubbard, bassist Jerry Jemmott and percussionist Kwasi Jayourba, Holmes and Willis ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
17	Jazz Classics [K-Tel] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
18 view cover	On Basie's Bandstand (2003) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Some wags might claim there's already enough organ-based '60s soul-jazz in the Prestige catalog without throwing a previously unreleased album of the stuff on the bonfire. And your first inclination might be to dismiss this trio date, on which Richard "Groove" Holmes is joined by guitarist Gene Edwards and drummer George Randall, as more of the ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
19 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Horace Silver: Opus de Funk (1954) more music like this by Various Artists Now here is a really enterprising subject for a songbook album -- a composer who was not a Tin Pan Alley pop craftsman and whose output had not been anthologized until this release. True, Silver wrote fewer standards than, say, Porter or the Gershwins, and fewer jazz artists covered them, thus limiting Fantasy's choices (the zany Eddie Jefferson ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $50.32!
20 view cover	Hit Jazz (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This excellent compilation includes twelve of the best jazz-crossover hits of the 1960s and '70s, including "The Sidewinder" by Lee Morgan, "Moanin" by Art Blakey, "Walk on the Wild Side" by Jimmy Smith, "Song for My Father" by Horace Silver and "The 'In' Crowd" by Ramsey Lewis. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
21 view cover	After Hours (1962) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Richard "Groove" Holmes was one of the first jazz organists to emerge after the rise of Jimmy Smith (who would remain a lifelong influence). Holmes had a lighter tone on the more up-tempo pieces, but on the ballads (such as "Denise" on this set) his organ could give the impression of weighing a ton. This CD reissue combines together most of the ... see all copies from $25.50!
22 view cover	Soulful Grooves: R&B Instrumental Classics, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's Soulful Grooves, Vol. 1: R&B Instrumental Classics is an entertaining 14-track collection that contains both familiar and obscure soul, funk and soul-jazz songs from the late '60s and early '70s. The song selection doesn't necessarily hold together -- it's weird to have Cannonball Adderley's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" flow into Jimmy Castor's ... see all copies from $19.97!
23 view cover	Jazz Grooves (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Party Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Party Jazz is an infectious compilation of funky, catchy soul-jazz driven by tenor saxes and Hammond B-3s (plus occasional guitar, as on Grant Green's selection). While jazz purists might deride the choices as haphazard, what's here is generally very good, with an artist roster including Willis "Gator" Jackson, Brother Jack McDuff, Houston Person, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $99.99!
25 view cover	The Best of the Pacific Jazz Years (2001) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes see all copies from $6.30!
