Description

CONTEMPORARY RECORDS CAT# C3538 LP JACKET VG++ LP M-/M Bassist Red Mitchell, who had led two fairly obscure sessions for Bethlehem in 1955, came up with a gem on his lone Contemporary set as a leader. Based in Los Angeles at the time, Mitchell utilized pianist Lorraine Geller and two up-and-coming players: James Clay (who splits his time between tenor and flute) and, in one of his first recording sessions, drummer Billy Higgins. The quartet performs then-recent tunes by Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins and Clifford Brown ("Sandu"), a pair of Mitchell originals, "Scrapple From the Apple" and "Cheek to Cheek." Despite Higgins' and (to a lesser extent) Clay's connections with Ornette Coleman, the music is strictly high-quality modern mainstream bop of the era. Easily recommended to collectors of straight-ahead jazz. Tracks 1 Scrapple from the Apple Parker 5:27 2 Rainy Night Mitchell 5:20 3 I Thought of You Mitchell 5:17 4 Out of the Blue Davis 6:15 5 Paul's Pal Rollins 6:55 6 Sandu Brown 5:31 7 Cheek to Cheek Berlin 8:06
