Groove Grease

Groove Grease is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy McGriff featuring performances recorded in 1971 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

[1][2][3] Allmusic's Rob Theakston said: "This 1971 session finds McGriff continuing to do like so many other jazz musicians of the time: embrace and adapt to the emergence of funk and soul into mainstream music, and recontextualize it in a jazz arena.

The results are an unsurprisingly delicious slice of jazz-funk made from the finest ingredients.

While McGriff's adventurous side is slightly tamed, it's that willingness to improv and blend together as a cohesive unit that makes Groove Grease such a tasty statement that is consistently fresh with repeated listenings".
