Richard Groove Holmes--The Groover! (Prestige)

kh, I've always enjoyed that one. Not the greatest, but very solid.

PS - As I recall, it was issued after Groove left Prestige to rejoin PJ, and it kind of slipped under the radar.

Ain't no Hoover for that matter, either.

If it doesn't pick the dirt up off the carpet well enough to satisfy your fastidious taste, perhaps you need more static electricity. There are cloths that will do that for you. I think velvet is supposed to be good.

For some reason, I suspected my early/mid- '90s art-punk references would fall flat...

Porto Novo is rough. I think that was the first Bennink I'd ever heard--and with that nasty reverb, the percussion sounds especially wild. MB is especially unhinged on these sides... interesting that the trio music has been paired with the much quieter, perhaps more sensitive "sound" recordings with Wadada (which is some of the more successful music of its kind from this vintage, I think).

Yeah, tell me about it. It's one of my favorite Marion sides, precisely because it's totally unhinged... Bennink is like a scrap-heap being thrown down the White House stairs! Considering that it's the same vintage as both New Acoustic Swing Duo and the Loevendie/Altena/Engels trio Stairs! (Artone [& Bennink got his bag more from Johnny Engels early on, then incorporated Milford]), the shit that MMH unleash is not surprising, and quite welcome.

Strange that the CD issue pairs it with only half of the Creative Improvisation Ensemble LP.

I especially like the original Porto Novo cover:
