Inside The Groove

Helen Merrill's third LP on EmArcy label - with great arrangements by Gil Evans.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Helen Merrill's preceding LPs (MG-36006 and MG-36057) fully feature her emotinally husky voice in wet and quiet moods. This LP, her 3rd album and arranged by Gil Evans, features more brighter side, which is also fascinating.

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

9 out of 10
