Comments
Gatefold cover.
with original Mercury inner sleeve.
A spine-chilling great sound!
Inside The Groove
One of the famous trilogy of “10 fronts and 2 backs” by Pete Rugolo.
Personal Impression (and brief notes)
This is the first album of his famous trilogy - the second one is PPS-2016 / PPS-6016 (10 Trumpets And 2 Guitars), and the third one is PPS-2023 / PPS-6023 (10 Saxophones And 2 Basses). As always, Pete Rugolo picked up talented West-Coast studio musicians on the session. A banquet of ten trombones backed up with two pianos and rock-steady swingy rhythm section - simply great and enjoyable!
Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)
9 out of 10
