Comments

Inside The Groove

A very modest chamber music arraged by Glenn Osser, with a bit of nice improvisations by Andy Ackers and George Barnes.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Although they do a little jazzy flavour, totally it's boring easy-listning kind - just a cocktail music :( The unexpected luck is that Andy Ackers (p) and George Barnes (g) play a few amount of nice jazzy solos in several tunes.

Or this LP would be ironical example to represent how boring all famous standard tracks became when they play in such a manner...

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

3 out of 10
