The Red Mitchell - Harold Land Quintet • Hear Ye!!!! Hear Ye!!!!

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
In the early '60s, bassist Red Mitchell and tenor saxophonist Harold Land co-led a quintet in Los Angeles. The group did not catch on but they did record one Atlantic set that has been reissued on CD. In addition to the co-leaders, the quintet included trumpeter Carmell Jones, pianist Frank Strazzeri, and drummer Leon Pettis, and, although their original program of six songs was comprised entirely of group originals, the music falls easily into the hard bop area with plenty of fine solos and swinging ensembles. The CD reissue adds two previously unreleased tracks including a lone standard, "I'm Old Fashioned." This is a fine effort from a group that deserved greater recognition at the time.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
A principios de los años 60, el bajista Red Mitchell y el saxofonista tenor Harold Land codirigieron un quinteto en Los Ángeles. El grupo no tuvo éxito, pero grabaron un disco en Atlantic que ha sido reeditado en CD. Además de los co-líderes, el quinteto incluía al trompetista Carmell Jones, al pianista Frank Strazzeri y al baterista Leon Pettis, y, aunque su programa original de seis canciones estaba compuesto enteramente por originales del grupo, la música cae fácilmente en el área del hard bop con un montón de buenos solos y conjuntos de swing. La reedición en CD añade dos temas inéditos, incluyendo un único estándar, "I'm Old Fashioned". Se trata de un buen esfuerzo de un grupo que merecía un mayor reconocimiento en su momento.
