Billy Mitchell • This Is Billy Mitchell

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
Although the tenor saxophonist is in typically fine form on six obscurities and two standards ("Sophisticated Lady" and "You Turned the Tables On Me"), this record's main significance is that it features the young vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, who was virtually at the beginning of his career. Five of the eight songs also include trumpeter Dave Burns, pianist Billy Wallace, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Otis Finch, while the other numbers have organist Sleepy Anderson in place of Wallace and Burns. Mainstream hard bop of the era.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Aunque el saxofonista tenor está en forma típicamente excelente en seis piezas oscuras y dos estándares ("Sophisticated Lady" y "You Turned the Tables On Me"), la significancia principal de este disco es que presenta al joven vibrafonista Bobby Hutcherson, quien estaba virtualmente al comienzo de su carrera. Cinco de las ocho canciones también incluyen al trompetista Dave Burns, el pianista Billy Wallace, el bajista Herman Wright y el baterista Otis Finch, mientras que los otros números tienen al organista Sleepy Anderson en lugar de Wallace y Burns. Hard bop convencional de la época.
