Just now relistening to that Disc 4 of the Blue Mitchell set. Man, oh Man, but the Hands Up! set is just blowing me away. I am particularly taken with "Togetherness". It's opening and closing ensemble themes are quite attention-getting and, to me, very romantic sounding. And all three solos are masterful. Blue is telling stories, love stories. Junior is singing, singing happily. But Tyner's solo quite frankly caused my jaw to drop. This one track stands out, IMO, as one of THE great Tyner solos of all time! (Of those that I've had the pleasure to hear).

The sound on this is great too. Quite punchy, it jumps out of the speakers! The tape actually doesn't seem like it's in the best condition, as I believe I'm hearing quite a few dropouts in the right channel on this track toward the close, but the sound has such impact that it is easily overlooked. All expectations exceeded!

I feel this will prove to be one of my favorite Mosaic boxes. :)
