Comments

with RCA Victor's inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

Nice Chicago-style swingy session by a great Dixieland pianist.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Hodes swings, shuffles, blows... Even they play Dixies rather in “modern” tone. A truely great Chicago-styled jazz ensemble.

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

9 out of 10
