Keep That Groove Going!

Keep That Groove Going! is an album by saxophonists Plas Johnson and Red Holloway recorded in 2001 and released on the Milestone label.

Reception

Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell said: "another Bob Porter-produced soul-jazz cooker, effortlessly suggesting tenor battles of the past. They are a most compatible duo, with Johnson displaying a slightly lighter, more overt rhythm & blues tinge, and their sure-footed note selection makes them a pleasure to hear". In JazzTimes Bill Milkowski called it a "spirited session" and "superb recording". All About Jazz noted "Beneath the emotionally charged surface of both Johnson and Holloway’s playing lies a wellspring of intelligence and good taste. ... the septuagenarians tackle a diverse program that refutes the notion that there are artistic limitations in sustaining a groove".
