Bean's - Jimmy McGriff and Richard "Groove" Holmes

Richard Arnold "Groove" Holmes (Camden, New Jersey, May 2, 1931 – St. Louis, Missouri, June 29, 1991) was an American jazz organist who performed in the hard bop and soul jazz genre. He is best known for his 1965 recording of "Misty" which is considered a precursor of acid jazz.

His sound was immediately recognizable in the upper register, but even more so because of his virtuosity in creating, undoubtedly, the most rapid, punctuating, and pulsating basslines of all the jazz organists.

Though he died at the age of 60, he established a recognition within the community of jazz organ giants including Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, and Jimmy McGriff.




Richard "Groove" Holmes- Red Onion (Jack Frost Edit)

Solid Steel (6th February) We welcome Mike Simonetti in Hour 1 this week, who grew up on New York 80's hardcore punk and went on to form Troubleman Unlimited, Italians Do It Better and now has a new project 'Pale Blue', which is a collaboration with Elizabeth Wight of the band Silver Hands. The mix concentrates on quality over quantity, opening with some words from Henry Rollins from 1985 and delving into some vintage acid and Chicago House from DJ ESP, DJ Hyperactive and Paul Johnson. He described his mix as "music for the dark illegal parties with no emergency exits"
