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 similar vein. The lone ballad of the set (
"The Things We Did Last Summer"
) is a fine change of pace. With the assistance of guitarist
Gene Edwards
and drummer
Jimmie Smith
,
Groove Holmes
shows that it is possible to create music that is both worthwhile and commercially successful. ~ Scott Yanow
