Johnny Lytle - New And Groovy in details

Ace reissued the first album "The Loop" last year (HIQLP 115). We are delighted to now put out the second, "New And Groovy". The line-up features Milt Harris (organ) Wynton Kelly (piano), George Duvivier (bass) "Peppy" Hinnant or Jimmy Cobb (drums) Montego Joe (congas) and Lytle on vibes. The band power through a selection of original material such as 'The Snapper', 'The Pulpit' and 'Screamin' Loud'. The album also contains Lytle's radical reworking of Miles Davis' 'Miles' which Lytle retitles 'Selim'. With poor distribution, "New And Groovy" barely made it to the shops back in 1967 and was ignored for twenty years until DJs such as Bob Jones and Gilles Peterson started playing it in the 80s making it a sought-after LP.
