Comments

Inside The Groove

A nice compilation of Mercury/EmArcy artists who all swings great.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

The concept itself may be simple, and the songs gathered and presented here may lack of detailed investigation. But it's true all songs are great swingy tunes.

All tunes included are from previous Mercury and EmArcy catalogues. They swings, rocks. Very impressive.

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

9 out of 10
