Comments

Some of the tracks are also available on EP-1-6149.

Inside The Groove

A great West-Coast style modern jazz recording with fine arrangements by Bill Holman.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

This album consists of two different sessions - Side-A consists of short tracks (most of them are 3-4 minutes), while Side-B features bit longer jam tracks. Both sides are arranged by Bill Holman, and the West-Coast guys appeared on this album play brilliant ensemble.

Yet another fine West-Coast performance.

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

8 out of 10
