Comments

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

A sophisticated pop (but a little jazzy) chorus trio in the Good Old Days style.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Little, Dane and Mason was the famous comedy act around the U.S. night clubs in the 1950s. Consists of three members - Chuck Llotta, Vince Callaci and Herb Magidson - the trio sang and played very interesting acts that satisfied the people's joy - they even appeared on the legendary Ed Sullivan Show.

This album presents their great talent, featuring famous standard numbers (and their funny call-and-response chorus). Not a kind of music that we can hear recently, but very interesting to listen to.

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

7 out of 10
