Comments

A scarce first jacket: different from rather famous second jacket entitled “Songs By Jackie Paris”.

MGW-60004 is an original issue of EmArcy MG-36095. However, according to the Jackie Paris Discography, EmArcy MG-36095 is said to be actually unreleased.

Inside The Groove

One of the great bop vocalist Jackie Paris' great album on Wing label.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

His singing is truly one of the jazz kind. Although his voice colour is just for mellow ballads, all tracks on this album are not merely mellow at all. Very swingy arrangements, his stylish vocal - all great.

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

10 out of 10
