Review by Jason Ankeny
The soulful American Pie pairs Groove Holmes with electric pianist Larry Willis, suggesting a more nuanced and restrained interpretation of the organ/electric piano formula that energizes Holmes' Blue Note classic Comin' on Home. Ably supported by guitarist Gerald Hubbard, bassist Jerry Jemmott and percussionist Kwasi Jayourba, Holmes and Willis weave a mellow, stoned-soul groove that twists and turns with lazy precision -- although the material derives from sources spanning from Don McLean to Anthony Newley to Holmes himself (the fine originals "Catherine" and "Fingers"), the mood and tenor of the set never wavers, but the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Reseña de Jason Ankeny
El conmovedor American Pie empareja a Groove Holmes con el pianista eléctrico Larry Willis, sugiriendo una interpretación más matizada y contenida de la fórmula órgano/piano eléctrico que dinamiza el clásico de Blue Note de Holmes, Comin' on Home. Apoyados por el guitarrista Gerald Hubbard, el bajista Jerry Jemmott y el percusionista Kwasi Jayourba, Holmes y Willis tejen un suave ritmo de soul que gira y se retuerce con una perezosa precisión. Aunque el material proviene de fuentes que van desde Don McLean hasta Anthony Newley y el propio Holmes (los originales "Catherine" y "Fingers"), el estado de ánimo y el tenor del conjunto nunca flaquean, pero el conjunto es mucho mayor que la suma de sus partes.
