Inside The Groove

Funky-stinky New Orleans instrumental stuffs by a legendary drummer.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Gentleman June Gardner is one of the acclaimed New Orleans drummers. The most famous job was a sort of Lee Dorsey's recordings, such as “Get Out Of My Life Woman” and “Working In A Coalmine”. His another celebrated work would be a drummer of Sam Cooke's road band (1960-1964).

This album, released in 1966, contains his fine leader sessions, compiled from his various recordings for local labels (including Hot Line label in New Orleans), maybe arranged/produced by legendary Wardell Quezergue. The top-notch smash hit “It's Gonna Rain” and all other tunes are covered with lazy New-Orleans rhythm, but also hot taste. Dirty but steady brass riffs are also attractive. Especially all tunes on the Side-B are very impressive.

Although it's mysterious that these recordings were released by EmArcy label, this LP holds nice funky instrumentals.

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

8 out of 10
