ALBUM REVIEW
Bassist Red Mitchell's debut as a leader on the Bethlehem label finds him a solid quintet with pianist Hampton Hawes, trumpeter Conte Candoli, drummer Chuck Thompson, and saxophonist Joe Maini in an easygoing bop session. The leader's bass work is as potent as it was throughout his long career, whether on Hawes' fast-paced blues "Duff," or a loping treatment of "Ornithology." Mitchell's advanced composition, "East Coast Outpost," is especially noteworthy.
BIOGRAPHY
A talented bassist who was always in great demand, Red Mitchell was originally a pianist and he doubled on piano on an occasional basis throughout his career. He switched to bass when he was a member of an Army band in Germany. Mitchell played with Jackie Paris (1947-1948), Mundell Lowe, Chubby Jackson's big band, and Charlie Ventura (1949); toured with Woody Herman's Orchestra (1949-1951); and was a member of the popular Red Norvo Trio (1952-1954). He played with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet (1954) and then settled in Los Angeles where, during 1954-1968, he played with nearly everyone, from West Coast jazz stars (particularly Hampton Hawes) to recording with Ornette Coleman (1959) and was a member of the studio orchestra at MGM. He also co-led a quintet with Harold Land during 1961-1962 that recorded for Atlantic. In 1968, Mitchell moved to Stockholm where he led groups, played with European jazzmen, and accompanied visiting Americans, including Dizzy Gillespie and Phil Woods. Mitchell made occasional visits to the U.S. and shortly before he died, he moved to Oregon. In addition to the Atlantic date, Red Mitchell led albums for Bethlehem (1955), Contemporary, Pacific Jazz, Mercury, SteepleChase, Caprice, Gryphon, Phontastic, Enja, and Capri, in addition to a few smaller European labels.
Every record is an original issue, with the label and catalog number given. Photo of actual item.
My grading which is based on the Goldmine Standard;
Sealed - NEW
M. Mint. Unopened, sealed.
M- Near mint. Perfect, un-played, like NEW. May have a promo stamp, hole or slit in cover.
VG++ - Almost new, with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play.
VG+ - Vinyl has slight signs of wear, slight scuffs or faint scratches, that don't affect the sound. Cover may have slight signs of wear.
VG - Surface noise will be noticeable, but will not overpower the music. The cover may have writing or tape.
VG- Vinyl plays without skipping, but has significant surface noise and scratches. The cover may have splits, writing, tape, or stickers on it.
I generally sell VG++, or better, except for the RARE, out of print, or unavailable item.
ATTENTION:
I strongly encourage COMBINED S&H. Each additional LP is $1.00, U.S.
Airmail combined S&H, at Postal quote only.
I am listing, alphabetically, a huge collection, that belonged to a friend.
It comes from radio stations, and leftover record store stock. He was a DJ, and record store manager.
Many one of a kind items, some not available commercially.
Additional photos always available, upon request.
I encourage multiple wins, and S&H, nothing beyond actual cost added.
I'd rather send five items to one seller, than one item to five.
Looking for a certain item, E-me, I might have it, and will list it. Or buy it now.
All packaged professionally, to prevent damage in transport.
I use record mailers for vinyl, and bubble envelopes for CDs.
Please keep watching, ALL MUST GO!
