Well, I only had two "Groove" albums when I wrote that (and just 
picked up a third).

They are "Groove's Groove," and the "Legends of Acid Jazz" 
compilation, plus he has one cut off the "Kickin' the 3" album 
("Misty").

Groove's Groove is all awesome, though I prefer the up-tempo tunes to 
the ballads. I especially like "Broadway," "Hackensack," and "Plenty, 
Plenty Blues."  They are *smokin'* tunes.

I'm finding it hard to chase down "Groove" albums; record stores will 
have maybe one title.  I have some more on order, but some of them 
are imports and could take a while.

The third album, which I just picked up, is "Night Glider."  There's 
some good stuff on it, and some funkier things, but I think I prefer 
him in a smaller band, where he's kickin' pedals.

Any recommendations of which albums I should pick up would be greatly 
appreciated.

Really enjoying the stuff -- Groove's Groove is on heavy rotation right now. :)

Best,
Rob
