Larry Young's third and final Prestige recording (reissued in the OJC series on CD) concludes his early period; he would next record as a leader two and a half years later on Blue Note, by which time his style would be much more original. For his 1962 outing, Young is joined by the obscure tenor Bill Leslie, guitarist Thornel Schwartz and drummer Jimmie Smith for some original blues and two standards ("I Found a New Baby" and "Sweet Lorraine"). 

Nothing all that substantial occurs, but fans of Jimmy Smith will enjoy the similar style that Larry Young had at the time.~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/groove-street-mw0000644712

Personnel: Larry Young (organ, keyboards); Thornel Schwartz (guitar); Bill Leslie (tenor saxophone); Jimmie Smith (drums).
