The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I like "Groove grease" a LOT more than "Electric funk". The latter album is much too heavily regimented for my taste. "Groove grease" is exactly what it says. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 ohr realy: well is that correct then that its 3 funk singles followed by a bunch of swining standards. That's right. i read one review that said itw as a trio date and everything else was overdubbed! Dunno about that. Could be - with Sonny Lester you never know. Just listened to the two LPs. Only fault with "Groove Grease" is the electric bass. Jimmy never needed a bass player when he was swinging in four, which is a lot of this LP. It's a very good LP, but not up to his best.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Best half dozen McGriffs, in my view, are I've got a woman - Collectables - available At the Apollo - Collectables - available The main squeeze - Groove Merchant - deleted The starting five - Milestone - available Blue to the 'bone - Milestone - available The dream team - - Milestone - available (Order is date of recording, not preference) But there are quite a few nearly as good as this lot.
