New Groove is one of two albums that Russell made in quartets organized by Marshall Brown. Brown, on valve trombone and bass trumpet, bassist Russell George and drummer Ron Lundberg join Russell in a set list that is quite wide ranging. The nine songs range from Count Basie (“Taps Miller” and “Moten Swing”) and bop (“Good Bait” and “’Round Midnight”) to John Coltrane’s “Red Planet” and Russell’s trademark “Pee Wee’s Blues.” Throughout the set, Russell plays in his own unique style, sounding both hesitant and confident at the same time.
