Richard 'Groove' Holmes - Shippin' Out


Once again, a brand new rip - MUCH better than the old one.

Richard 'Groove' Holmes - Shippin' Out
Muse 5134, 1978
 recorded 1977

1) Feelings
2) Windows
3) Stella By Starlight
4) Where or When
5) Shippin' Out

Groove Holmes organ, David Schnitter tenor sax, Steve Giordano guitar, Idris Muhammed drums, Bobby Caldwell conga

Are those the twin towers of the World Trade Center I see off in the distance on this cover shot? I guess this one is pretty rare since I can't even find mention of it on google. I found my copy at a discogs vendor who specializes in punk rock and when I received it the vinyl looked like some punk rockers had played frisbee with it. After a good cleaning, a re-rip and a pass through Izotope RX3, I think it sounds awesome!

This is a nice record -- Groove is well, Groove and Schnitter and Giordano give fine performances on tenor and guitar in support. and as it says in the liner notes: "The players are fine. The music is fine. The recording is excellent. These are the facts."

    Don't have the first one to compare but this is very, very nice! Big Holmes fan and organ jazz in particular. SBS just smokes. Don't know of Giordano but he definitely has the chops. One of those albums that I enjoy all the tunes and this rip makes it all the more fun. Thank you.

    Those would indeed be WTC towers in the background. The picture is of the southern tip of Manhattan, as seen from Liberty Island or maybe from the Brooklyn piers.
