Groove Holmes is awesome. I‘ve had a couple different Eric Kloss albums in my hands before, but always wound up returning them to the bins for some reason. This sounds great, though.

there usually pretty beat up for some reason. One of the good things about this very nice digital compilation of his first two. Don Patterson is a favorite I will be posting more about in the future. Very influential on Papa John and Joey Defrancesco in Philly.

The Exciting New Organ Of Don Patterson

Another monster Hammond B3 player from Columbus that went unmentioned in my Hank Marr post is Don Patterson. Like Rahsaan Roland Kirk, he moved away quite early in his career and died relatively young, but Patterson cannot be overlooked in a serious look at Columbus musicians. And yet, despite a...

Here is a great Hammond trio album with Kimberly Gordon on vocal, the great Chicago organist Chris Foreman on B3 (former Green Mill house organist and Deep Blue Organ Trio member), and Andy Brown on guitar. Highly recommended!

Another Chris Foreman (Chicago, former Green Mill house organist) project that is highly recommend. With the great Greg Rockingham (Nat Adderley, Kenny Burrell, Charles Earland and Ellis Marsalis.) on Drums and Bobby Broom (Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Charles Earland) on guitar. Perhaps my favorite most recent Hammond Jazz album (2007) Folk Music.

The record sounds great, but the master is borked. If you enjoyed the digital, the record is great. It’s also cut hot. So it’s a mess if you crank it.

My system had no issues with the hot cut on Craft Relaxin but there are a lot complaints on that one also.

I will say target customer service, in my experience, on vinyl is usually just a straight up refund and keep the record if not happy.
