1	Spicy (1966) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Although this is dependable B-3 Hammond soul-jazz, some of the songs selected for this set, such as "If I Had a Hammer" and "Never on Sunday," are inappropriate for soul-jazz translation. On the other hand, the adaptation of Luiz Bonfa's "Manha de Carnaval" is good, and Nat Adderley's "Work Song" is a classic that's hard to mess up. Only one ... see all copies from $34.00!
2	32 Gems from 32 Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Taking material from the '60s through the '90s, mostly from the vaults of the Muse and Landmark imprints, 32 Gems From 32 Jazz is an excellent three-disc sampler of the mainstream jazz label's catalog holdings and a fitting celebration of its first three years of existence. Nearly every major straight-ahead jazz style from that period is ... see all copies from $7.96!
3	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 $6.66! new only from $10.35!
4	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!
5	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 $11.03! new only from $11.03!
6	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 $15.00! new only from $17.41!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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 $19.66!
10	Jazz Classics [K-Tel] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
11	Dancing in the Sun (1977) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
12 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 $2.84!
13 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!
14 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 $19.95!
15 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!
16 view cover	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 $6.50!
17 view cover	Blue Bacharach: A Cooler Shaker (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Bacharach: A Cooler Shaker features Blue Note interpreting Bacharach standards like "Always Something There to Remind Me," "I Say a Little Prayer," and "This Guy's in Love With You." Nancy Wilson's "Alfie," Grant Green's "Wives & Lovers," Stanley Turrentine's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," and the Ernie Watts Quintet's "Knowing When to ... see all copies from $8.00!
18 view cover	Groove Holmes/Jimmy McGriff: Double Exposure (1973) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes with Jimmy McGriff This album contains two albums, one by Groove Holmes and the other by Jimmy McGriff. They do not play together here. Holmes is with Kwasi Jay Ourba on bongo/congas, Garald Hubbard on guitar, Jerry Jemmott on bass, Larry Willis on piano, and drums. Six cuts by McGriff and five by Groove Holmes. The tunes "Catherine" and "Rainy Day" are very nice. ... see all copies from $10.88!
19 view cover	Somethin' Special (1962) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Somethin' Special is a laidback, funky classic which features Richard "Groove" Holmes trading licks with pianist Les McCann, saxophonist Clifford Scott and guitarist Joe Pass, who makes one of his first recorded appearances on this album. It's a fine, infectious album, highlighed by Holmes and McCann's stylish solo. Blue Note's 1997 CD reissue ... see all copies from $25.00!
20 view cover	Blues All Day Long (1988) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Blues All Day Long is an example of an artist excelling by sticking with what he does best. Richard "Groove" Holmes was a master of the grittiest of blues and the most romantic of ballads -- two of the things that make the album the soul-jazz triumph it is. Whether savoring the richness of the blues on "Groove's Groove" (not to be confused with ... see all copies from $9.96!
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 $31.00!
22 view cover	All Star Jazz [Box] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.59!
23 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!
24 view cover	Troubadours of Groove (1996) more music like this by Various Artists "The Troubadours" are not actually a group, but these are three groovemeisters who made important individual contributions to the soul-jazz and R&B-blues movements. The four Jimmy McGriff and four Richard "Groove" Holmes' organ combo numbers are good but far from essential tracks in their careers. Two Junior Parker numbers are the same, with ... see all copies from $1.99!
25 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!
