The Groover is an album by organist Jimmy McGriff, recorded in 1982 and released on the Jazz America Marketing (JAM) label.

[1][2][3] The Washington Post's Mike Joyce wrote: "Jazz organist Jimmy McGriff demonstrates on The Groover that no musician has a monopoly on the blues.

Certainly not these blues -- the late-night, after-hours kind that once routinely spilled from tired jukeboxes at closing time ...

The Groover lives up to its title and a tradition well worth renewing".
