The Groover (Jimmy McGriff album)
The Groover is a studio jazz album by organist Jimmy McGriff. It was recorded on June 24, 1982 at Right Track Recording in New York and released in 1982 on the Jazz America Marketing (JAM) label (catalog JAM 009). Produced by Esmond Edwards, the album showcases McGriff’s blues-infused organ playing. The Washington Post critic Mike Joyce praised the record, writing: "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."
