Veteran tenor saxophonist
Billy Mitchell could not ask for a better rhythm section than he has here (pianist
Barry Jones, bassist
Sam Jones, and drummer
Walter Bolden).
Mitchell was careful to pick out a superior program of songs highlighted by a few classic ballads (including "Unforgettable" which in 1978 had been largely forgotten) and
Joe Henderson's "Recordame." The results are quite boppish and one of
Mitchell's better recordings of the past 20 years.
