Inside The Groove

Danish baritone player Max Brüel's relaxed album, from original Swedish Metronome recording.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Max Brüel (spelled as “Bruel” on this LP) was one of the famous Danish baritone sax players, although there were few in the country. On this LP (originally recorded by Swedish Metronome label), Max Brüel plays his baritone in soft, moody and relaxed moods while at the same time the sound is rather swingy. B-1, B-2, B-3 features Jorgen Ryg on trumpet, who plays refreshing solos. Not a bad album at all.

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

7 out of 10
