Album Notes & Community Reviews

Supported by a highly potent rhythm section featuring Harold Mabern on piano, trumpeter Blue Mitchell delivers an impeccably swinging hard bop session. The compositions seamlessly weave bright, bluesy melodies with the more complex, driving harmonic structures favored by Blue Note during the era. The album highlights Mitchell's incredibly lyrical, fat-toned approach to the trumpet.
