Blue Mitchell • Step Lightly

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Trumpeter Blue Mitchell's Blue Note debut went unissued for 17 years, only coming out on this 1980 LP. The set must have been lost in the shuffle, for the music is consistently excellent. Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, altoist Leo Wright, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Roy Brooks perform four originals and obscurities, plus lyrical versions of "Sweet and Lovely" and "Cry Me a River." Worth searching for.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El debut del trompetista Blue Mitchell en Blue Note estuvo sin publicar durante 17 años, y sólo se publicó en este LP de 1980. El conjunto debe haberse perdido en la baraja, ya que la música es siempre excelente. Mitchell, el saxofonista tenor Joe Henderson, el contralto Leo Wright, el pianista Herbie Hancock, el bajista Gene Taylor y el batería Roy Brooks interpretan cuatro originales y oscuridades, además de versiones líricas de "Sweet and Lovely" y "Cry Me a River". Merece la pena buscarlo.
