Comments

U.S. equivalent issue of original Fontana [UK] STL-5195.

Inside The Groove

Tubby Hayes' return visit to the US, featuring Roland Kirk and James Moody.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Tubby Hayes, Roland Kirk and James Moody - unlike these names suggests, this album is not a sort of "tenor battle jam". Instead, the whole atmosphere is very relaxed and smooth - even featuring Tubby Hayes' vibraphone on several tunes.

The last track, a three ballad medley featuring Moody, Hayes and Kirk respectively, is a nice example for making comparisons among three.

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

8 out of 10
