Red Mitchell • Chocolate Cadillac

 

Review
by Ken Dryden
During his years living in Sweden the late bassist Red Mitchell made many recordings and this live quintet date at the Montmatre is one of his best. Leading a group that included fellow American expatriates Horace Parlan on piano and Idrees Sulieman on trumpet, they open the CD with "Idrees," a potent bop number penned by the leader, which features strong solos by both Sulieman and tenor saxophonist Nisse Sandstrom. The trumpeter contributed the sauntering "U.A.I. (You Are Invited)" and the title track, which is highlighted by Mitchell's booming bass solo. This impressive swinging date is highly recommended.

Reseña
por Ken Dryden
Durante los años que vivió en Suecia, el fallecido bajista Red Mitchell realizó muchas grabaciones y esta cita en directo con un quinteto en el Montmatre es una de las mejores. Al frente de un grupo que incluía a sus compatriotas Horace Parlan al piano e Idrees Sulieman a la trompeta, abren el CD con "Idrees", un potente tema de bop escrito por el líder, que cuenta con potentes solos tanto de Sulieman como del saxofonista tenor Nisse Sandstrom. El trompetista contribuyó con "U.A.I. (You Are Invited)" y la canción que da título al disco, en la que destaca el potente solo de bajo de Mitchell. Esta impresionante cita con el swing es muy recomendable.
