Comments

MGW-60000 is an original issue of EmArcy MG-36091.

Fortunately this copy of MGW-60000 sounds much better than MG-36091!

Please also take a look at another copy from Masaya Hasegawa's collection. His copy's matrix info is slightly different from this copy - the interesting matrix may indicate that his copy is one in the middle of the transition period from Wing MGW-60000 to EmArcy MG-36091.

Inside The Groove

Nat Adderley's 1st leader LP on Wing/EmArcy.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Preceded by elder brother Julian's EmArcy albums, Nat also recorded his leader session on short-lived Wing label. This is the album (later reissued on EmArcy label).

Backed up with many fantastic players like Horace Silver and Paul Chambers (and of course Julian Adderley), Nat plays so boppish and “modern”. Definitely nice hard-bop album.

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

9 out of 10
