Description
The quartet is heard in two settings on August 15, 1961 — three of the eight selections were produced by Richard Bock in a Los Angeles studio in the afternoon, while the other three were recorded several hours later an L.A. club called the Black Orchid. Ammons and Holmes prove to be a strong combination in both settings, although their playing is somewhat looser at the Orchid, where the delights include some slow blues, a smokey ballad (“Willow Weep for Me”) and a lightning-fast barnburner. However critical Ammons might have been of most organists, it’s obvious that he and Holmes share a lot of common ground on “Groovin’ With Jug”.
