Description
Groove Grease is the premier 1971 soul-jazz studio album by legendary American jazz organist Jimmy McGriff, released on the iconic Groove Merchant label under catalog number GM 503. This landmark instrumental funk record showcases McGriff at the height of his powers, delivering deep, greasy Hammond B-3 organ grooves backed by infectious rhythm tracks and soulful horn lines. The tracklist includes standout groove cuts like Groove Grease, The Bird, and a funky, syncopated interpretation of there's No Tears In The End. The striking front cover art features a stylized, blue-and-red lit silhouette of a woman, embodying the moody, retro aesthetic of early 1970s jazz clubs. The cardboard jacket is beautifully preserved in Excellent condition, boasting bright text, crisp seams, and minimal shelf wear. The heavy vintage vinyl is equally pristine, retaining its deep original gloss and playing with clean, rich analog fidelity. This phenomenal original pressing is an essential, highly collectible find for serious enthusiasts of rare groove jazz, funk-soul history, and golden-era instrumentation.
