Groovy Holmes Surprise
5 out of 5 stars

This one stands out a bit, with Larry Willis on electric piano joining Groove Holmes for a fun jam session. It's a real treat, packed with a heavy groove, and that cover of "American Pie" is a pleasant surprise. My copy's in decent shape, with minimal surface noise, and it's got a lively, vibrant sound.
