Comments

Equivalent release: Limelight LM-82030 (mono).

original gatefold cover with original booklet.

a slight water damage on corner of the jacket.

Inside The Groove

A moody and mellow ensemble by Mulligan with strings.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Backed up with a too mellow strings arrangements, this album's first impression may be a kind of “easy-listening”. But also, actually not too bad as a “Jazz” : Mulligan plays a slow, earnest, mellow barritone saxophone, but overall full of swingy moods.

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

7 out of 10
