Inside The Groove

Herb Geller's great quartet session on EmArcy: eight tunes from MG-26045 10-inch, plus four extra tunes.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

A-3 thru A-6, and B-3 thru B-6 are originally issued as MG-26045 (1954 recording). The newcomers are A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, recorded in 1955. Again, these four tunes are full of Herb Geller's refreshing improvisations, and they show smooth consistency with 1954 sessions.

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

10 out of 10
