Close

Good Move! is the third album by American organist Freddie Roach recorded in 1963 and released on the Blue Note label.

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars and stated “Laid-back and loosely swinging, Good Move captures organist Freddie Roach near the peak of his form. Roach never leans too heavily on his instrument, preferring a calmer, tasteful attack, yet he is never boring because he has a strong sense of groove”.
