Red Mitchell
Happy Minors
Very Rare original UK 10" LP released on London Jazz Records in 1955. 1st UK pressing on the Red and Silver label, the sleeve is fully laminated and has half moon flipbacks on the rear. Issued on Bethlehem Records in the US.
A hell of a cooker from bassist Red Mitchell — a set that's got a sound that's way more mature and modern than you might guess from the image on the cover ! Red's at the helm of a hip combo that also features sharp tenor from Zoot Sims and beautiful work on valve trombone from Bob Brookmeyer – working here at that cool compressed height of his 50s style we love so much. Conte Candoli's in the group on trumpet, giving things a surprising sort of bite – and rhythm is completed by Claude Williamson on piano and Stan Levey on drums – players who can be bold one minute, and carefully quiet the next.
