The first half was given over to Masters of Groove, a recently formed band with Reuben Wilson on organ, Grant Green Jr. on guitar and Mr. Purdie on drums. They gave a middling, cheery performance; Mr. Green, who plays nice George Benson-style guitar and also sings in a husky and not-quite-committed manner, takes prominence in the trio.
