Richard ‘Groove’ Holmes – 29 Albums Richard ‘Groove’ Holmes, (May 2, 1931 – June 29, 1991) was a jazz organist who performed in the hard bop and soul jazz genre. He is best known for his uptempo recording of ‘Misty’, from the album ‘Soul Message’.
One of the top jazz organists to emerge on the scene after Jimmy Smith’s initial success, Richard ‘Groove’ Holmes had perhaps the best left hand walking bass, and he could create an immense swing and groove, hence his nickname. Listen to the organ trio live recording of ‘Living Soul’ from the album ‘Spicy’ for an example of this.
