Groove Holmes and Gerald Wilson  a wonderful combination on this late 60s session in a style that's everything great about mainstream LA jazz at the time! Wilson really has a way with the charts on the session and although the group is large, they've got a lean, clean sound that bounces along nicely slightly funky at times, always soulful at others a perfect backdrop for the well-played Hammond lines that Groove brings to the set! The album's not as much of an all-out organ wailer as some of Holmes' albums for Prestige but that's a-ok with us, because Wilson's group features some other great players too including Dennis Budimir on guitar, Tony Ortega and Arnie Watts on saxes, and Paul Humphrey on drums! Titles include "Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife", "High Blues Pressure", "Listen Here", "Oklahoma Toad", "Rhythm & Groove", "In & Out", and "Isole Natalie".  © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/4536/Richard-Groove-Holmes:Workin%27-On-A-Groovy-Thing
