Groove Holmes' Funky Soul Jazz
5 out of 5 stars
NyBunauOctober 20, 2025United States🇺🇸
This is the sole album Groove Holmes ever cut for Blue Note, and it's a fantastic slab of funky soul jazz. Some of the best tracks are "Groovin' For Mr. G.", "Wave", "This Here", and "Down Home Funk", which truly embodies its name with an awesome beat and a mean organ riff. Weldon Irvine lends his electric piano skills to six out of seven songs, and it seems to inspire Holmes to explore a looser, freer style. The pressing is top-notch, with deep lows, great separation, and a rich, full sound...another stellar RVG recording. My copy is in superb shape, with hardly any surface noise. It's one of Holmes' finest works.

This is the sole album Groove Holmes ever cut for Blue Note, and it's a fantastic example of funky soul jazz. Some of the best tracks are "Groovin' For Mr. G.", "Wave", "This Here", and "Down Home Funk", which truly embodies its name with an amazing rhythm and a gritty organ lick. Weldon Irvine lends his electric piano skills to six out of the seven tunes, and it seems to inspire Holmes to explore a more liberated playing style. The sound quality is top-notch, with a rich low end, clear separation, and a warm, full sound...another stellar RVG masterpiece. My copy is in great shape, with hardly any surface noise. It's definitely one of Holmes' finest works.
