  • Live Soulful Trio Performance

    5 out of 5 stars
    LvHacua24 November 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    In April 1966, this soulful, groovy live trio performance was captured in NYC, with standout tracks "Gemini" and the namesake tune. Gene Edwards serves as a great counterpart to Holmes, his sharp guitar riffs beautifully match the smooth organ runs. This record bears the VAN GELDER mark and delivers excellent audio quality, boasting a solid bass response and clear stereo imaging, creating an engaging, cozy sound. My copy plays back well with only a hint of light surface hiss here and there. Really solid stuff.

Gene Edwards proves to be a great match for Holmes, his sharp guitar riffs beautifully complementing the smooth organ playing. The record sports the VAN GELDER stamp and delivers excellent sound quality, boasting a deep bass response and clear stereo imaging for an up-close, cozy listening experience. My copy plays back smoothly with only a hint of light surface noise here and there. All in all, it's a solid listen.
