Inside The Groove

Great Dixielanders' nice session from original Keynote recordings.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Irving Fazola, who once joined the bands like Ben Pollack, Glenn Miller or Bob Crosby, came back to New Orleans in the early 1940s. This 1945 sessions capture his greatest clarinet style as well as fruitful Dixieland-style ensemble.

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

8 out of 10
