Comments

Equivalent release: EmArcy MG-36148 (mono).

Later reissued as Mercury MG-20535 (mono) and Mercury SR-60212 (stereo).

Inside The Groove

Relaxed but confortable tension of Terry Gibbs' “velvet” vibes - a sequel to MG-36064 “Vibes On Velvet”.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Take a look at this jacket design! Very funny, comical but nice funky-pretty sense!

Talking about the music itself, Terry plays very smooth, relaxed and confortable vibraphone sound with well-swingy brass section (well arranged by Pete Rugolo). One of the altosaxphonist Joe Maini's alto play is also awesome. It may not have less “Jazz” feelings, but I like this nice “West-Coast” taste sound.

Sound quality and pressing quality is awesome (FR pressing).

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

9 out of 10
