Movin' On is a studio album by organist Reuben Wilson which was recorded in 2006 and released on the Savant label.[1] [2]

Reception

In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "The music is reminiscent of the late '60s with catchy grooves, long vamps and some heated solos .... The mixture of basic originals and R&B covers works well and even if the program is not all that memorable, the good-time music will please fans of the idiom". In JazzTimes, Bill Milkowski called the album a "largely smooth-jazz offering" and said "the playing here is purely pedestrian ... Groove-mongers may dig this, but serious B3 mavens may want to pass"[3]
