Roy Porter - In A Groove
Review by Thiago Borges
In A Groove, the album by Roy Porter, is a masterpiece of jazz music that takes the listener on a journey through the soulful and rhythmic sounds of the genre. The album features a range of instruments, including drums, saxophone, trumpet, and bass, all of which come together to create a rich and layered sound.
From the opening track, "Jessica," to the closing number, "Party Time," In A Groove is a joyous celebration of jazz music. Each track is expertly crafted, with Porter's drumming serving as the backbone of the album. His rhythms are infectious, and his solos are impressive, showcasing his skill and passion for the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Givin' Up Food for Jah," which features a driving bassline and a funky horn section. The track is a perfect example of Porter's ability to blend different styles and influences into a cohesive and exciting sound.

Notes
- The original liner notes read as follows:
- Born in the coal mining region of the Rocky mountains in Colorado, to playing New York's Apollo theater with Milton Larkin's orchestra and T. Bone Walker at 19 years of age and one of the most innovative, underrated, controversial and unorthodox pioneer Jazz drummers of our time, Roy Porter has run the gamut of the music scene. He has played and recorded with Howard McGhee, Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Benny Carter, Little Richard, Joe Liggens Honey Drippers, Louis Jordan, Earl Bostic, Perez Prado and leader of his own 17 piece big band that Eric Dolphy, Art Farmer and numerous other greats emerged. Most memorable are the Dial sessions with "Bird" - Night in Tunesia, Yardbird Suite, Ornithology, Moose The Mooche, etc., that are legendary. Also a composer - "Lonesome Mood" by the Friends of Distinction album GRAZIN - RCA. We think this album shows versatility in his playing, composing and arranging, but he thinks his singing leaves something to be desired (smile). Enjoy!
