Of trumpeter Blue Mitchell\'s seven Riverside recordings (all of which have been reissued as CDs in the Original Jazz Classics series), only this set (along with three numbers on Blue Soul) feature Mitchell as the only horn. Joined by pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Roy Brooks, the trumpeter is typically distinctive, swinging and inventive within the hard bop genre. He performs four standards, Ronnell Bright\'s \"Sweet Pumpkin,\" and the obscure \"Avars,\" and a pair of originals in fine fashion. ~ Scott Yanow
