Album Review
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. The superb playing of Richard Davis on electric bass is unquestionably the anchor throughout the album's nine slices, leaving McGriff and company to follow suit with loose (but not too far out) improvisation that's as equally relaxing as it is invigorating. 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.
Customer Reviews
Smooth and funky
Great acid jazz with fantastic keyboard work.
i says hell naw!
"so, i'm just wondering, is this like the soundtrack to napolean dynamite...?" that is what this girl asked when i was playing this album. it surely is not though; some great old school grooves, really more like the soundtrack to that afro-mama on the cover in the bedroom...
