"Groove" (full title Les McCann Presents the Dynamid Jazz Organ of Richard "Groove" Holmes with Ben Webster, Les McCann, Tricky Lofton, Ron Jefferson & George Freeman) is the debut led by organist Richard "Groove" Holmes recorded in 1961 and released on the Pacific Jazz label.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "the result is a loose, enjoyable jam session. In addition to Holmes' appealing organ and McCann's typically funky piano, a major bonus is the brilliant playing of tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, whose tone was at its most gorgeous during this period".
