Personnel includes: George Freeman, Earl Maddox, Billy Jackson, Rusty Bryant, Billy Butler, Herbie Lovelle. LEGENDS OF ACID JAZZ was originally released separately as THE GROOVER and THAT HEALIN' FEELIN'. Personnel: Richard "Groove" Holmes (organ); George Freeman, Billy Butler (guitar); Rusty Bryant (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Billy Jackson , Herb Lovelle (drums). Audio Remasterer: Kirk Felton. Liner Note Authors: Chris Albertson; Ralph Berton. Recording information: Englewood Cliffs, NJ (02/14/1968-08/26/1968). Photographer: Al Johnson . Unknown Contributor Role: Herb Lovelle. Other than the fact that it features Richard "Groove" Holmes' groovin' organ, the music on this 1997 CD reissue (which contains all of the selections from the LPs The Groover and That Healin' Feelin') has little to do with acid jazz, but certainly qualifies as superior soul-jazz. The last in a long string of Prestige recordings that Holmes had initiated in 1965 is a consistently hard-swinging set. The earlier date matches the organist with either George Freeman or Earl Maddox on guitar and drummer Billy Jackson, while the later date has notable playing by Rusty Bryant (on tenor and alto), the highly expressive guitar of Billy Butler, and drummer Herbie Lovelle. More bop-oriented than normal, the reissue includes such numbers as "Speak Low," "Blue Moon," "Just Friends," "On a Clear Day," and the Johnny Hodges/Al Sears hit "Castle Rock." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
