Comments

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

Nice Dixieland style session, putting two bands altogether.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Very interesting session by Dixieland-style giants such as McPartland, Hodes, Russell, doing their own things. Even Bud Freeman's modern tenor sax plays fine and get together with good old happy music started and refined in New Orleans earlier in the 20th century.

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

8 out of 10
