Comments

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

A modern-flavoured session, but with a handful of happy moods.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

The combo consists of a clarinet, guitars, a bass and drums, which sounds like a modern version of mainstream swing combo in a fully relaxed mood. It's a pity that this LP doesn't have unique and individualistic sound characteristics.

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

7 out of 10
