Inside The Groove

The great vocalist Jon Hendricks' early solo performance live in person.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

After the breakup of the famous group Lambert, Hendricks & Ross (in 1962: then thru 1964 they sang as Lambert, Hendricks & Gavan), he started to record his solo albums. This Smash LP (release date was maybe in 1964-1965) features one of the greatest live-in-person session in his early era. The tunes appeared on this album vary from old touching ballards, hit tunes s of the 1960s to awesome up-tempo scat singings.

A very impressive and excellent album indeed.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

10 out of 10

Personnel

Personnel/recorded date/master numbers confirmed with the Ruppli's discography.
(“The Mercury Labels - A Discography” by Ruppli and Novitsky, Greenwood Press, 1993)

“Recorded in 1963” on the Ruppli's discography, while according to the liner-notes (by Leonard Feather) the year 1964 may sound more appropriate for the recorded date.
