The Harry Grove Trio - Little Red Monkey The Magic Music Box

Review by Herr Schmitt

The Harry Grove Trio's album Little Red Monkey The Magic Music Box is a delightful blend of jazz, swing, and blues. The trio, comprised of Harry Grove on piano, Jack Smith on bass, and Bill Johnson on drums, showcases their impressive musicianship and chemistry throughout the album.

The opening track, "Little Red Monkey," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The trio's playful improvisations and dynamic interplay make each song a joy to listen to. The album also features some beautiful ballads, such as "Autumn in New York," where Grove's piano playing is particularly stunning.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Take the A Train," which features some fantastic solos from each member of the trio. The rhythm section's tight groove and Grove's virtuosic piano playing make this rendition of the jazz standard a real treat.
