Comments

Some of the tunes are also available on EP-1-6139.

Matrix stamps with MF suffix, and silver rim on the label - one of the very early pressing. Furthermore, back cover has a writing which says “Phil Brooks, KMPC, 12/55”, which is a circumstantial evidence.

Inside The Groove

Eddie Heywood's first album on EmArcy.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Compared with other Mercury albums by Eddie Heywood, this album (his first album on EmArcy) sounds more “Jazzy”. Very relaxed, fancy and smooth piano trio recordings, although there are few “thrilling” moments. Anyway I like it.

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

6 out of 10
