Ron Holmes - Eclecticism

Ron Holmes returns with his magnum opus, Eclecticism: Gemini. Seamlessly blending avant-garde fusion arrangements with deep, polyrhythmic roots, the album acts as a dual-sided canvas. It masterfully explores both pristine technical execution and raw, cosmic improvisation. From the sweeping grooves of "Queens' Strut" to the liberating rhythms of "Ominira (Freedom)," Holmes constructs a rich audio landscape that challenges traditional structures while keeping the groove entirely infectious. Look for it 11/2/2026, on all the Groovy streaming services and radio!
