Richard ''Groove'' Holmes • Misty

 

Review by Scott Yanow
In the mid-'60s, organist Richard "Groove" Holmes had a hit with his medium-tempo rendition of "Misty." This CD reissue has the original short version (which was cut as a 45) plus other medium-tempo ballads performed in similar fashion. Holmes and his trio (featuring guitarist Gene Edwards and drummer George Randall) play enjoyable if not overly substantial versions of such songs as "The More I See You," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "What Now My Love" and "Strangers in the Night," trying unsuccessfully for another pop hit; the organist's sound is more appealing than some of the tunes.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
A mediados de los 60, el organista Richard «Groove» Holmes tuvo un éxito con su interpretación a medio tempo de «Misty». Esta reedición en CD contiene la versión corta original (que se editó en 45) y otras baladas a medio tiempo interpretadas de forma similar. Holmes y su trío (con el guitarrista Gene Edwards y el batería George Randall) tocan versiones agradables aunque no demasiado sustanciosas de canciones como «The More I See You», «The Shadow of Your Smile», «What Now My Love» y «Strangers in the Night», intentando sin éxito otro éxito pop; el sonido del organista es más atractivo que algunas de las melodías.
