 notes:

Richard “Groove” Holmes was one of the most influential Hammond B-3 

players in soul jazz history. Born in Camden, New Jersey in 1931, 

the American organist became famous for his deep blues feeling, powerful

 bass lines and infectious groove. His breakthrough came in the early 

1960s after recording for Pacific Jazz, and his soulful 1965 version

of “Misty” became his signature track and a jukebox favorite.
